Trans Travesty?

In what model year did
big-block V8 Chrysler cars have the first
4-speed manual trans? I do not mean the
French Pont-A-Mousson rig in the 1960
Chrysler 300F.
I’m aware that Chrysler’s own A-833
4-speed came out for model year 1964. But
I also know that no 1962-63 max wedge
cars had a 4-speed, only the TorqueFlite
auto trans or a 3-speed manual trans.
I find it interesting that Chevy was the first
with a 4-speed for their big and smallblock
V8s in model year 1959, followed by Pontiac
in 1960 and Ford in 1961 [although with
Ford, the 1961 4-speed was only available
for their hi-po 390 cubic inch engines. It was
only in 1962 that Ford had a 4-speed available
across the board.].
I’m almost willing to bet that Dodge
and Plymouth cars with 383 and bigger
engines did not have an available 4-speed
until model year 1964. But I’ve been wrong
before, and you are ’the man’ — therefore,
this question.

You lose on this one. 1963 Mopars
offered the B-W T-10 4-speed on cars with
383 cu. in. and smaller engines.
