Hi guys,
i know its a ford box, but it's strong, and it's cheap. so tell me guys, will it fit in a VK commodore trans tunnel? clutch and bellhousing are not a problem.
cheers
Alex
If nissan motorsport is nismo, then doesn't that make honda motorsport Homo?

Hi Boom, I think that the gearbox fits in the tunnel fine but I am not so sure on the shifter/linkages.
Have you considered fitting a single rail gearbox from a Cortina as these can be bought very cheaply. Same bellhousing and clutch, speedo cable etc.

My mates HK used to bust them regularly with about 400hp (350 Chev). He ended up going back to a Muncie and has never blown one of those.

yeah? how much are muncies going for atm? will it fit in the tunnel?
a muncie would be easier, as i can use the saginaw bellhousing as you previously mentioned.
If nissan motorsport is nismo, then doesn't that make honda motor

Probably close to a good toploader in cost. You should find one for $750, except for the original HQ style which are worth good money because they belong to HQ GTS 350's.

HQd had Muncies, and had a small hump added to clear the shifter which I think was a Hurst. I have a Muncie here that was in a VK behind a 308 and it didnt have any tunnel mods and used the stock 4spd hole. When and if you go to do the conversion ill sell |

I wouldn't be running a manual behind such an engine. Use a TH400.
