MOPAR BB 727 Trans Shield
 

Looking to acquire a shield, what works best W/O modifying the floor? CSR?

How much modification is required to the trans to make it fit. I see where the recommend removing the casting tabs and I also found some reference to removing the shifter cable mount which bothers me.

Thanks in advance
Eric

It was a lot of work to get mine fitted in an "E" body.

I have one in a '66 B-Body - all I had to do was cut off one of the ears on the bell housing like you mentioned.

Have you thought about using a blanket? It's easier.

On my 67 B body a CSR shield works great without modifying the tunnel . Do not cut the boss near the back of the case if you use a Turbo Action shifter because the cable bracket bolts to it . I do let the back of the engine droop down to allow easier access to the upper bellhousing bolts , have the shield in place while jacking the transmission into position .

The csr shield is nice but on my 69 a-body with a big block we had to modify the tunnel slightly

Fit really depends on the car. It ranges from not having to do anything to replacing the tunnel.

70 B-body DISASTER!!! So I called them, they said the design was for dragsters and if I wanted to fit it in a vehicle with a body that the tunnel will need to be messaged, biggest issue was the hump on the top towards the rear and the strap and mounts. If you have a pro trans you will have to cut it and you will no longer be allowed to re-certify that piece according to the rep

I just called and talked with the "tech" line informed them my application was BB 69 B-Body. He informed me that I "might have to roll the body seam line at the floor" some to make it fit. Also, remove the casting tabs at the front as well and what ever I do NOT trim the shield in any manor as they will not "re-certify" the shield as any modification removes them from any liability.

They did state it was designed off a "dragster" application. Why not design around the tightest application first? Oh the joys.....

You may consider the Robin Hood blanket. Supposedly it's quite pricey though.

Just bite the bullet and put the CSR in and modify the floor as needed. It shouldn't be too much. Your Charger has alot more room than an A body or an E body. Since you are going to drive it on the street too I would stay away from the blanket, they just get messy dirty in a street application.
