All, I have a question about this transmission application issue...on a
different note. I purchased my Tiger out of a barn ( classic barn find, it was
priceless) and it was purchased without the factory correct drive train. I do
have a motor for the car ( a later model 302 based motor) but have not yet
selected a transmission. I do have a good WC T5 that will rebuild, but haven't
sprung yet for a tail housing solution such as Tom H's ideal fitment or one of
the other bodgered workarounds, mainly due to cost. I was considering the
toploader of course...but I used to have a Galaxie with a T10, and I liked
that old stick shift...which brings me to the questions:
1. will the T10 bolt right in to fit the body?
2. in other words, were the bodies were the same as the cars after 65 correct?
the shifter location on the T10 will hit the hole in the floor just as the
correct length toploader will, right?
3. Does the T10 come in different lengths like the toploader?
4. Last question, is there a bellhousing available for a T10 to fit a let
model block? ( assuming the 5 bolt vs 6 bolt issue is applicable)
......now I know everyone will try to give me the pros and cons for all 3
above transmission possibilities, driving quality, originality...and honestly,
I know what the strengths and weaknesses basically are for the functionality
of all 3, it's the fitment that I'm sketchy on...and I know that my car would
have had a toploader originally....
..... but we all know how I feel about that...back to Bob H's recent comments
about hose clamps...not my biggest concern...just curious to know about T10's
fitting Tigers....
Thanks guys
