my Low dollar 318 hop-up project

A999 great trans
transgo reprogramming kit and you can add some clutches
It should have the good double wrap low/reverse band and 4-5 pinion planets
but would a 92-94 518 work?
when you do your driveshaft use only factory or dana spicer joints the larger ones preferred

The A518 would work or A500 to get the same deeper first gear, but it still requires some floor surgery that I'm not currently equipped for. It has a 2.93 rear gear right now, so if I did go the o/d route, would have to change the rear gear too. Got the A999 although might be A998 and a roller cam 318 from a 87 dippy cop car for $125. Will be sending the trans for a full rebuild before it goes back in. Sorry 318willrun, didn't mean to hijack the thread.
