Manual gearbox options for '71 SBC engine
Posted: Wed Sep 15, 2010 10:32 pm
Hi, hope someone on here can help me.
I recently found the above engine with a 4 spd auto box and want to convert it to a manual. I've been told there are some options open to me but have not been able to find any concrete information, or facts about what's possible.
I've been told so far that I can use a manual g/box from an old 760 Volvo (possibly Wentworth Turbo), then use the Chevy flywheel and Volvo clutch.
Or would a g/box from a v8 BMW or Jag also work?
Thanks, any help appreciated.
