Hey every one? Here is my dilemma! I read a bunch about the h55 swaps out there and always see the comments regarding the cost of the gearbox and everything else that comes with doing a swap!
I have a 283 in my 40 with the 4 speed box behind it! I didn't put it in, got the truck with it in there already.
I always feel like I'm missing that last gear option to let the motor go! It is a very healthy engine! So, I have been thinking since I already have the Chevy V8 there, why not mate it with a Chevy 5 speed (which cost significantly less then the h55) and just maybe, it may end up being an easier mating?!?
Have anybody done a T5 into their cruisers? Which one have you used? What kind of issues am I gonna face?
Any help and advice is appreciated! (and pics)
