so i blew out 2nd gear friday at the track. so ive been looking all over s2ki and the internet to see if there is any cheap option for a trans and it looks like there is still no other option but straight dogbox or stock. i have a th350 sitting in the garage and cant find anyone who makes an adapter plate for it. anybody have any ideas?

 

Yes, I'm doing the same thing. Everything will have to be custom made as far as I can tell, but it will work

 

If you have the money any good race car fabricator will make any trans fit any engine.
If I was you, I would locate a fabricator near you so he could use your engine and trans to make one.
Back in the 70's I used Buick or Olds TH 400 tranny's to mate up with my Chevy engine(much chearer than Chevy TH 400).

i cant believe noone has come out with one yet. i think when i was at inlinepro not long ago they were working on one. ill give tom a call in the morning

 

He's makiking one for his car, but they haven't come out with a kit yet. I want to know if the Borg Warner T56 trans has any possibility of fitting seeing as it's from a 600hp car haha...it would theoretically hold up

 

The domestic transmissions from what I've been told won't handle the R's up top. Shifting @ 8-10k is a bit of a stretch for those, even "race-prepped" cars aren't pushing them that hard.

 

That's not quite true, back in the late 70's our S/B Chevy would go through the lights at 8200 rpms and that was with a TH 400 and we were not a high dollar team. Some of the guys would turn 9k with their 302's but if we tried that we would have lost a rod.

On an auto perhaps, I'm talking about manual gearbox's.

 

Someone was doing a Supra retrofit recently I thought. Seems like that would be a good option, price and trans availability may not however, I dont know.

 

fullblown is working on the supra trans
