I wanted 6 speeds and this trans has really great ratios and it's heavy duty. Plus the shifter is in the correct position unlike some of the car 6 speeds that puts the shifter too far back. I feel that my Ranger is almost perfect, I just think one more gear would solve that. We shall see!

Sorry for the delay, yellow68gto, I assume there's an adapter for the flywheel and for the bellhousing? Also I believe the flywheel I plan on using comes with bolt on 50/28 weights so I could just leave them off. I was planning on machining them myself on the old Bridgeport, but it would be so much easier if they were already available. What do you want for the adapter?
