Thread: saginaw to m20???

Tweet

ok thanks....i heard a lot of mixed stories about the saginaws, so i didn't know what to think. but i do want take some weight off my truck and figured an aluminum case would do that.....i just don't want to expect too much from the transmission and have one go south on me. especially one that's worth something you know?

so my bellhousing crossmember should be more than enough? i don't need a crossmember on the tailshaft? would i be pushing the muncie too hard with my combination?

also, where could i get a v gate shifter???? hurst has discontinued theirs, and i can't afford 700 dollars on a Long shifter......

thank you again

With the mounts on the side of the block, and the tranny, the belhousing becomes the weak link (Aluminum belhousings), with the mounts on the front of the block & on the belhousing, it doesn't tend to bow at the belhousing.

Most all racers use that type setup. you can also drop the tranny with only pulling the driveshaft & shifter handle. You can even change the clutch & pressure plate without pulling the belhousing.

I got the V-Gate shifter I have now, new in the box at a swap meet fo $25.00 mine is a Mr Gasket, I believe. It's packed in the shop with everything else.
