QUOTE(whitetwinturbo @ Jun 11 2015, 08:27 AM)  It may be easier to solve the "gearing" problem by sourcing a 930 4 speed trans. Why not the 915 5 speed? It was geared for the motor... |

Gadzooks, I can only imagine what the V8's feel like. My Suby 6 still scares me in corners and it has a lower center of gravity. A better driver could handle it but I'm still in the learning curve. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I agree with Andes about the LS motor. I did one with a 915 Trans with a higher R/P so the motor revs better in 5th and no need to lock out first gear. Only problem, car not complete, so I can't tell you how it drives! |

I find this a hard question to answer. There is such a vast difference in what you get in a V8. We could be talking an LS with all its EFI or a 283 from a '63 Impala.
I really like my 3.2. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) |

It's not that difficult to get different gears for your trans. The parts can be purchased off the shelf now. When your spending $$$ for all the stuff you need to put the 3.2 in the car, why not just budget to change gears too?
