You will need a small block bell housing to start with. Brewers has the flywheel (as well as a clutch and PP). Your crank should be machined to take the pilot bushing because as I understand it Mopar designed the back of the crank to take either the TQ snout or a pilot bushing. I believe that you can use the same pilot bushing as is used for the Tremec but you might have to shorten the input shaft of the 833 about 1/2".
I am not 100% positive about having to cut the input shaft, I'd say more like 50/50. I have read where people have said they had to do that and then others say they didn't, but I think the actual population of people who have or are running a 833 behind a G3 is not super large. I was going to exactly this in my 71 Charger and was doing the research about it which is where I got my information. I then changed gears and bought a TKX 5 spd kit which gives me everything short of the pedals and driveshaft which when I did the math worked out to be a better deal. I had the 833, shifter, handle, and bell housing but the trans was a bit of an unknown (although I do have 3 of them), and I really wanted that 5th gear so here I am.
That 5th gear would be nice. Does the trans tunnel need cut with that trans
No which is part of the reason I chose it. The TKX was specifically designed to fit older cars. The kit they sell is as I said complete, trans, shift handle (not sure what they have for a 68-70 B body but for a 71 up B its a billet pistol grip), bell housing, cross member, fly wheel, pressure plate, clutch, hyd throw out bearing system with MC and lines, etc. Hell they even give you the trans fluid.
The TKX seems like a really nice transmission. Strong and small.No which is part of the reason I chose it. The TKX was specifically designed to fit older cars.

Where does the shifter sit? Can you put it in the stock location or does it sit in-line to the transmission?

Per the article: "While it’s confirmed to be a no-cut fit for E-bodies, B-body tunnels will require a bit of massaging to gain the TKX’s extra gear."Here is detailed information on TKX shifter positioning. Silver Sport Transmissions makes a B-body kit.
