Hi all,
Looking to buy a doner body for a good 253 and 3 speed manual I have. The doner HZ body I'm looking at was originally a 308 4 speed, what diff ratio would these have normally run, 3.08? If so what would this be like with the 253 manual? Would prefer a 4 speed too as it has the hole in the floor already, why not use it!! Any one out there got a suitable 4 speed in good nick with shifter (would need to be in southern NSW or North East Vic or Melbourne.
Thanks Peter

3.08 or 3.36 for the L31 M21 combo body. The BODY tag will tell you what it WAS originally (not what it IS). If you get a 4-speed make sure it's an M20 or M22, but it needs to be a V8 one. I would recommend finding a 6cyl M22 and using your V8 3-speed inp |

Thanks Byron, much appreciated. I'll have to keep an eye out for a suitable box. So the 6cyl M22 and the V8 ones had the same internals hey, just a thicker input shaft on the V8, well there you go!

All aussie 4-speeds are the same regardless of whether they are 6cyl or V8. The only thing that is different is the input shaft length (not thickness) and the corresponding length of the bearing cover. The boxes are all physically identical also. The only |
