ID this tranny... "I think" I found one

I happened on that info researching my T-5 swap. I think it was Fred (fmartingila) told it to me as Mummert only converts the 3 speed bell for the T-5 swap.

I had everything bought and ready to put that TOD in the truck, but the input shaft is 1" too short, as I measured it. The factory 300 clutch kit was gonna fit the flywheel, and I had a clutch fork out of a 50's 2 ton cyl chevy that was gonna make it all line up and work out. Then I noticed the input shaft was 2 short. But I am gonna try to contact the guy you said had one in a 292 and see for sure.

All I can say for me, it was too easy? Everything lined up and it dropped right in. I was flying by the seat of my pants also. I had it up and running in 3 day's only because I had to get a custom intermediate drive shaft. I used the yolk from a C4.

That's what I like best. Other than I'll need to do some drive shaft work, like Bob did, it's a "Bolt n go" overdrive transmission. I think the whole project will only cost me about $200 bucks and I'll still have my T-18 as a spare. I can also sell my 2.75 rear to absorb some of the cost.

Man oh man, I just gotta ask, how much can you get for a 2.75 rear? I think scrap is only about $45 a ton right now! LOL

I threw a half dozen pumpkins away last week because it wasn't worth hauling all the way to scrap metal (I already had a full load and wasn't going to make an extra trip). Seriously, a 2.75 is not very likely to sell to anybody for more than scrap price. Now, having said that, I picked up about ten 3.50, 3.70, 4.11, 4.57 centers and those have some or a lot of value but anything under 3.25 is not something anybody is going to pay anything for.

Jason,
I used the stock Granada shifter, though I did have to put a slight bend forward at the base of the handle. I have a '94 F-150 seat in the Slick and the "modified" shifter looks factory. There are no clearance issues at all.
Drop me a PM with your e-mail and I will send a picture or two.

Thanks Roger PM sent...
I'm thinking I'll step it ahead and to the right also. With the side shifter and my engine being centered it may be a bit too far to the left and look funny..

Something like this..
