4 speed?
Is it possible that a orion 4 speed(top loader) will blot up to the bell housing on my 85 gt.right now I got the t-5,but a PITA to stay consitant and I usualy miss third gear(if I powershift).
the toploader will be great for drag racing it is a close ratio but first gear will be low,so I would have to put more gear out back,also I got a inling shifter for it so I will have no problem missing gear,I dont want to go auto,just like banging through the gears its a great fealing.

ohh yeah didnt they start puting the t-5's like in 83 or 84.
I was just looking at the bell housing and it has and extra set of holes for another tranny.I wonder if it will work on the top loader,well the only way to know is to try right.
that motr in your sig is that a big block ford and also what is it going in,that tunnel ram kicks ***
