Ok guys and gals. I'm probably going to get some weird looks from you but i need to pick your brains.
I need to know what are the most bang for your buck upgrades you can do to these trannies? Their general cost? And what ones you think are must do's regardless of price?
No weird faces right? Here's were i get them. The reason i ask is I'm wanting to put one in my 1973 Amc Javelin. They are pretty much a bolt in upgrade to the car. From 3 speed to five speed. Is all i have to do is get a bell housing from an 80s jeep, a t5, and an adaptor u joint. And move the hole in my tranny tunnel. That's pretty much it.(there's a little more but not worth mentioning)
The reason I'm here asking is that the amc guys are mostly purists and go a little nuts when you modify. Especially when you cross the company line. And well who better to ask about a stang tranny then stang people? I'm hoping you can look past the Frankensteining and help me out with some knowledge.
I'm going to be getting this tranny out of the local pick and pull so things to look out for both bad and good. Like is there better years to look for? Or better editions? And how can you tell from the outside? Vin code? Stamping?
Anything else you can know of that I'm just not knowledgeable enough to ask let me have it. And any info at all will be great. Thanks.
