Hey guys,
I almost have all my parts rounded up....well at least they are all suppose to be on the way soon. I am using a 190HP(p pump), Ford 700 series truck engine and mating it to the TH475 already in the truck. I would like to go with a 5 speed, but it is not in my budget right now. I think the TH475 will be fine with a mild 6BT. I dont do alot of highway travel and if I do it is trailering, so top speed is not a real concern. I am planning to get a 4000RPM spring.
My question is with the 8degree tilt in the chevy adapter. I am wondering if it is feasible to run the transmission with the tilt and adjust my tcase shifter, or if it is better to go ahead and tilt the engine. I think it is the cosmetics of a twisted engine that bother me the most, but I think it is the best choice. It seems to me there could be transmission problems with an automtic tilted 8 degrees.
Let me know your thoughts...
