Is there a strong 4 speed w/a 3:1-ish first gear?

Dan,
Yes the iron GM case is the hybrid case. I reread my earlier post and I was backwards on its description. The left side is dodge and the right side is GM. I would offer to sell you one but I only have one left and I am saving it for my kids car. I still have the Iron Dodge case tranny I built, it's still an overdrive, but shipping it would be a pain and really expensive.

Good info....thanks! I figured it was the left side. That bottom left bolt is a PIA with the GM pattern. I actually have to used a stud in the bell there.

 

Check this guy's cool page out.

Nice link. Lucky guy, in all the years I was looking for them I only found 1 in a pick-n-pull. I had to look pretty hard to find the stuff I gathered up. I looked in every half ton truck I saw sitting around and had to check lots of them before you found one. Wrecking yards have them and I scored a couple at swapmeets. Good luck with it. Where in CA are you located? I grew up in CA and did not recognize that town.
Thanks
Brent

 

I am very close to Magic Mtn. on the 5 fwy. The Northwestern, part of Los Angeles County. Where did ya' grow up?

 

this "New Process A-833" is a really cool tip.

 

I think I have found one. Should I bother getting the Chevy truck bellhousing? I could have it for free, but I would have to pay shipping.

Thanx.

 

Unless your gonna run it behind a Chevy, or spring for a $50 adaptor plate, I'd pass on the bell.

 

What are the shifter options w/the OD trans?

 

My first one had a shifter on it. Was a Hurst too. Not a Comp plus though. However, I have to fab my mounts and linkages for my G body application, since the shifter is much further forward.

 

Got one, out of a van, it is a cast iron one, $150. Now, w/the help of Brandotheamazin, who will pick it up & ship it my way, I should be rowing gears real soon.

 

first time actually reading this thread, now I want a 4 speed, only put a few miles on my car and I think a 4 speed would be more fun, heh. I've got his trans in the bed of my truck, he'll have it soon.

 

BTW that thing was almost as heavy as my TH400. wow! felt like it'd hold up, mostly when I was the only guy (130 lbs) lifting it into my pickup (lifted)

 

Thanx so much to Brandon. He picked up this trans (all cast iron one) and is going to crate it to me tomorrow. Do I owe him some beer money, or what?

 

i didn't get it in the crate today, i'll get to it on monday. ship out mid week.

 

No! Brandon quit drinking......yeah thats it......he said....uh....send all the beer to Dan:laugh:

 

Hey now, there is always enough beer for everyone.

 

different Brendan quit, there's another in my town, he's gon dry. I'm still drinking, currently am right now, it's the weekend, and to cold in the garage to be workin on a car. so, :beer
