    Default 4AGE FWD-RWD conversion

    Is this a big deal or is there a gearbox that is readily available that bolts on..

    Its for off road use so exhaust and mounts etc: are no prob

    no it isnt a big deal at all! but id be looking for something light and with more power if you are unlimited in what you can do!
    yes you can get a bellhouse adaptor to use a w58 box as you will kill a T50 that they use very fast sprint racing, unless you want to fork out $3500 for a T50 dogbox.

    Rules say we must have 2 forward and one reverse gear. Its so we can manouver and restart in case of spin etc:
    And to run direct drive we would need 6.5 diff gears..
    What sort of cheaper 6cyl cars had a manual.?

    Are you alloud to have more than 2 forward gears?
    On the speedway i don't think that the gearbox will be stressed much due to it being a low traction surface so the T-50 should be alright

    We can have as many gears as we want.Due to restrictions in avaliable gear ratios we run 3.9 and second gear at the moment but for a lower revving engine i can go to 3.43 from a sigma.

    I can get a 22RE manual from a RT142 What is the CT bit.??
