Thats the same trans as in my car. Its called a RAP. Light,compact,shifts well and a little light for drag racing. My car makes about 200 hp and the trans seems fine. If you can live with a 7.25 rear end this box may work for you, Heres more info: http://slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11497 |

What about the Borg Warner unit that came in the Mustangs...The 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder 5 speeds? Considering that the Early Rangers and Mustangs both came with the 2.3 litre engines and 5 speeds I would think the transmissions are pretty close to being the same. I have a T5 out of a Z28 Camaro and I was looking at it and thinking that it would be perfect for a Dart with a slant...Might have to enlarge a couple holes to get the bell housing to bolt to the transmission...No big deal You can find this transmission in S-10 trucks they are plentiful and tough...The t-5 borg warner is considered tough enough for 300 horse power without problems... |
