Title: transmission swap
Post by: st8ofmattr on April 14, 2009, 10:11:05 AM
My son acquired a 75 runabout w/factory V6.  He would like to put a 4 speed in it.  What will this entail.  What transmissions, rear ends do we need to look for? Thanks for the help

you will need a bell housing, flywheel and clutch set up out of a mustang ii or capri with a v6 and stick.  v6 pintos never had a stick, only auto.  your pinto has an 8 inch out back so id keep it.  i think driveshaft lenght and input yoke are different.  i also dont know if the v6 stick boxes were the same as the 4 banger.  hopefully someone else will chime in for more info.
