Manual Trans Help
Hey, guys. My project is a 1976 Firebird with a 400. I am building it for NHRA Stock and i want to run a 4 speed. At this time, a Jericho is out of the question so what is my best bet? Super T10? Thanks for the help.

Re: Manual Trans Help
Spend the extra for a Jerico, it will pay for itself in the end

Re: Manual Trans Help
if your going to run a stick you need to go with a good trans ,jerico,liberty,but depends how resourceful you are you mite be able to find a doug nash five speed that is converted to a four speed but finding gear ratios will be a challenge to find ,,strong but old

Re: Manual Trans Help
You car is only as strong as the weakest link. The T10 would be the weakest link.

Re: Manual Trans Help
Your problem won't be so much the trans , but rather ,the clutch.
Too much weight, not enough hp and rpm to use counterweights effectively. I f you can't afford a Jericho, I'm going to assume you won't be able to put a good clutch in it either. You CAN find an old Doug Nash 4+1 with about a 2.96 low and it will be strong enough, but remember, a 1 to1 4th gear, is still driving through the cluster. You 'll have some loss there. Bottom line though, is, and trust me when I tell you this (been there, done that) , this whole deal is a bad idea. I would advise you to not do this. |
Re: Manual Trans Help
What whole deal is a bad idea? Running a stick or building a stocker?

Yes, there are moderately priced B&B /Long style 10.5 -11 " that are somewhat adjustable, but I don't believe they will get the job done in this application. By that I mean you're most likely to either break parts or smoke the disc in the waterbox. Even if you find a happy medium , I don't think the 60' times will be consistent enough to win races. I'm not trying to discourage you from building a Stocker, by any means. We need all we can get, just not this combination. |
