Re: Anyone done a 6 speed conversion?

The QuadraDeuce was originally built with a 6 speed. Later, when it was rebuilt by Troy's, it went to a Rossler built 700R4. Not real sure why, but that's what was done.

There was an AWD hot rod in Summit's catallog like 3 issues away that used a modified Sy's drive line and a 6 gearbox. It had a few good pics of the transfer case and front suspension.

I went through probably 100 different old hot rod featured cars on their website.

Do you remember what it looked like, or have a better description of it?

Thanks,

I wanna know more about this! Auto trans "done right" is like $1500 or so, right? Hmm....sex change can probably be around that too, and it'll change a LOT of things of how the truck drives...

I'll look for it and let you know what issue it is. Does summit racing has a section of featured rides in their site?

I would be interested in the info... Any chance you could get some pics of the 'adapter' to bolt the transfer case on to the T-56 and also what needs to be done for an output shaft?

Thanks
