Ok!!! So here is the million dollar question!!!! If you had to do it all over again would you convert to a flat-6 or a V-8? What is easier to convert? Seems like the V-8 maybe a little cheaper. However it seems like you have to cut your firewall out… is that also true? (Please note I am no wheres close to it yet but I need a plan!)
What Trans is the best to go with? I was think of a 73-76 side shift 901 with a billet heavy duty intermediate plate from a 70-72? (this would be built as street car… NO-auto cross….) |

Sorry, slight hi-jack (still on topic though). Can you give some details on the heavy duty intermediate plate on the early transmissions? I am doing a V8 conversion and I happen to have a few trans laying around (2 side shifters and one tail shifter). I have read in other places that the weak point of the 901 tranny is the intermediate plate, but I had no idea that the early transmissions had a beefier one. Does the intermediate plate you're refering to come out of a tail shifter and are they a direct swap? |
