[Tigers] Trans

[Jim]

I've got a close ratio with 3.54's ...so freeway cruising is pretty much
hopeless...!

 I DO have a recently acquired '82 AMC tailhousing that I'd like to use for
a T5 swap... I've read Dan Walter's article about it on the Tiger's United
site but I think the contact info is out of date...Does anyone have contact
info for him...? or other info on what's required to do this swap? I was
thinking of taking a 3.35 Mustang trans and putting in the z-spec 2.95 gear
set to handle the torque...and a .68 fifth would give me about a 2.40 top
ratio...but don't know the finer points of making it all fit...

Russ,

I have a stoker motor and run the wide ratio with 2:88 and while I am
happy with the performance I wish I would have waited and gone with the
5 speed option. I really do not like 4000 RPM on the 5 to keep up with
freeway traffic at 75-80 MPH.
