Exclamation Transmission conversion

Need Help!

Ok I im lookin at buyin a 93 Fd3s but its an auto so I want to convert it. How much would it cost to put a six speed in it. If thats not possible then how much would a standard 5 speed for a 93 cost?

Thanks Joe

Nah, it was because the bellhousing bolt pattern didn't match and my engine would have turned it into a pretzel...

Wink Longhorn ships in 2014........

Hahaha thats funny..

Course this is coming from a guy that will have to start a restoral project BEFORE his car is even done!

Your project, however noble it may be, is akin to Orville and Wilbur Wright finishing their Wright Flyer around 1944, as the Messerschmitt Me 262 was shrieking in the skis over Europe.



The phrase.....A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, comes to mind


Meaning: The things we already have are more valuable than the things we only hope to get

If Orville and Wilbur had had the cash to buy a Messerschmitt whenever they wanted but felt like building their own plane, sure...
