I'm trying to sell stuff so I can get this transmission to replace the 4-speed in it now. For what I'll be doing with the car, it will be overkill, but would rather have that then trying to baby it so it won't break. I plan on putting in a mild 454, should be around 400 horse and 500 ft/lb of torque, early Bronco rear with 3.5s and a posi. 255/50/16s for the rear. Traction will most likely be an issue, but this isn't gonna be a drag car, just a driver with a healthy motor.
If I understand it right, I can use the bell/linkage that is in the car now. But what else do I need?? The car has a console in it now, and want to put the shifter in the middle so it looks almost like an auto. I know there is a bunch of different shifters out there.
I'm not sure what the spline is on the current transmission, but don't think I can use it on this one. I also want to use the 153 tooth flywheel if I could too. I don't want to be spending all kinds of money if I can reuse all these pieces. Can't see what I couldn't get the SBC flywheel balanced for use in the 454.
transmission isn't cheap, just want to be sure it will work.....
