Re: Opinions please, engine swap (long)
Yes, buying a set of gears would be a problem. The axle weak point
is right at the deferential spline, and takes a 44 to get away from:

You really have the Ford truck Top loaded heavy-duty 4-speed
transmission?
I don't see a problem with the electronic fuel injection, Painless
makes the looms. I prefer just electronic ignition with a Real Holley
850 CFM double pumper, and of course there's no substitute for cubic
inches, or no replacement for my 400" displacement:

Re: Opinions please, engine swap (long)
Dang, so many numbers I'm getting all messed up. Sorry, I've actually
got the T-90 trans, not T-19 (they numbers sound about the same =).
The T-90 wouln't hold up with that V6, right? So I'm back to changing
the tranny at least. Thanks for the links, I'm going to take a look
right now.

Kaiser used the T-90, and later the weaker T-14 behind their Buick
V6s and fifty pound flywheel.
