I blew the 4 speed and was looking for a suitable replacement to hold that kinda torque. I have 3 mustangs, and was figuring out a way to shoehorn a ford toploader in there when I found out that pontiacs came with a heavy duty close ratio 3 speed if ordered that way. So i set about finding one and bought one for 99 bucks. bellhousing and everything.
anyways, I bought this car in seattle, put tires and oil in it and drove it across the country. stationed in new york, working on it weekends.
so far, 4,600+ gas + 239(shipped for the tranny)+ 400 for tires...
so far 6k or 7k?
so far so good.
