You should check if another drive shaft or any other parts are needed. Instead of buying from ebay, check out ddperformance.com. Seem to have a very good rep. They sell T56's. Very informative website. Also compare shipping costs.65fastback2+2 said:theres a viper t56 on ebay that is made to accept the ford 4spd toploader bellhousing to hook up to well, use your imagination. It had a 0.50 6th gearyou could run 4.11's and still have an awesome 6th gear for cruising. It was $2500 shipped.
2.95
The 2.95 1st gear will also allow a steeper gear in the rear like 3.73.
Any 4 speed top loader from the early cars will be inherently stronger than a T5. A Top loader weighs about 125 LBS. That is allot of material to work with. A T5 is approx. 75 LBS. and they have smaller (In thickness) gears.
Now a T5 is lighter and easier to install on your back. Has tons of machining refinements and most of all overdrive.
I have 410 gears and 1st is really tall. I think I have 3.35 first gear. I am looking into changing it to 2.95.
I don't think so.
Your right. I should have said short.@3000 RPM
4:10 axle ratio
26.5 in tall tire
3.35 first gear will put you at 17.65 mph
2.95 first gear will put you at 20.04 mph
The rest:
1.94 2nd - 30.48 mph
1.34 3rd - 44.13 mph
1.00 4th - 59.13 mph
.63 5th - 93.85 mph
That should give you an easy idea of what the gear change should do for you though. If by 'taller' you meant making the gear ratio closer to 2nd, then the gear you suggested would do that.Your right. I should have said short.
...nobody has answered his Q on what power the toploader will hold? as i am uncertian on the specific #s as well, im just trying to give him an idea from what ive been told.
There are a mass amt of ppl on these boards who run 3550s and TKOs(woulda been a better example) and there #s will likely give him a better idea... and since ppl run 400-500rwhp under their 3550 with no problems then id hope he'd feel confident that he has room to grow.
i ran a toploader in my 65 until it came out for a tremec so im aware of the differences
