Srod?

[LAUNCH316]

can i use an SROD transmission from a 4 or 6 cylinder on a 302. or should i try and find one from a v8. i'm not really interested in a t5.

The input shafts are different on a v-8 RAD / SROD than the 4,6, transmission.

Why not use a T-5?

The SROD is a 3+overdrive 4-speed, and while it works fine, its an economy transmission, not a performance transmission.

I wonder if you could gut an SROD trans and swap in top loader gears? That would give you a strong 4-speed but without the external rods of the 4-speed shifter.

can i just change the input shaft? i was really wanted to know if the guts were the same. i'm not sure if you could gut the srod and throw a toploader gearset in there. they both look similar. maybe i'll look into it. thanks
