AJ Question for ya....
Do you have a picture of your 4 speed trans attached to the GV?
Also, I am thinking of a GV behind a 4 speed in my 69 Dart. Can I use the A body trans or do I need to have the E-B Body main-shaft to attach the GV? I am a bit confused when looking at the GV site,,, lengths of tail-shafts etc. and what will I need.
Appreciated! Also in Wpg :)
I haven't been to the site since 2004, so I cannot answer your questions.
I used the A-body trans I had. In fact I had 3 different ones and the only one I didn't bolt the GV to was the close ratio T/A one.
But GV only had the B/E tail in 2004, so I had to buy a long mainshaft to make it work. Yeah so that sucked cuz I had to take the whole trans apart to swap in that mainshaft. Ok well it wasn't that bad cuz to install the GV adapter the trans has to come apart anyway..
But I gotta say, that the 3.09 in the Commando box is awesome. It allows running 3.55s which take off like 4.10s, but leaves the other gears alone. And as you probably already know; that 1.92 second gear with the 3.55s makes an awesome 6.82 roadgear; good from 30mph@2550 to 60@5100, when running a small cam hi-torque 360. So most of the time, my trans is in second gear.
Unfortunately, there is only one gear in the Commando box that can be swapped into the regular A833 and that is MS-first. So I had to buy another complete gearset lol. I got my set from Jamie at Passon; he had it, I wanted it, the price was good, and on inspection; the used parts were in excellent condition. I also got one of his lightweight aluminum cases and matching sidecovers.
I'm an hour from the South perimeter. I'm semi-retired. You should come over. I have lots of free time.No beer; just pop. You might like to take some of my junk home.
