 Subject: auto to 5spd???
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 93 with a 318 that has,R/T cam, computer, 1.97 valves, highlift valve springs/retainers, full balancing, and mopar headers. I want to swap to a standard tranny, has anyone done this. V6 trannies seem to be falling out of the wreckers all over the place but i can't locate one from a V8. How much power can they handle. Can a V6 tranny be rebuilt to V8 specs? Any input would be appreciated
