The saginaw 4 spd was used in the cheapest, lighest, lowest horsepower, lowest torque v8's. I have one, there is no comparison to the strength of the other 4 spd's used behind the "normal" chevy v8's. It was behind the 307 in the camaro's, and other light low powered chevy's. The same case was also the standard 3 spd. The v8 tranny did get bigger gears than the 6 tranny but was never considered a performance tranny thats why it was also in the corvair. It is a short tranny as they put 4 gears where they also have used 3 gears.
Also I don't remember there being a way to use the corvair tranny as a mid engine tranny just a tail dragger application. I guess you could turn the motor ccw with it. |
