Re: [Amc-list] 4cyl ford t5 #'s

I would avoid the 4cyl trans.
Go for at least the 3:3-1 first gear trans if you can find it.
As when you put the 304 in you'll be looking for another trans for it.
The 3:3-1 V8 trans will likely work well with both engines.
Depending on what gear the rebel axle has, but I think if you compare overall ratios between you current setup and the 3.3-1 one trans and rebel rear it will be close enough.
  You may not be able to use O/D a lot with the 196, but that should not be too big a deal.
Great for flatlands and downhill runs :]
