..no,Chris,that's 5th gear,,reverse is "identical" to the Saginaw inside the case,driven off 1-2 synchro..whether the gears *can be* installed is the first reason 'why not',the T5 top cover is bigger than the Saginaw side cover..the T5's big gear on the countershaft is 4" dia,and the thrust bearing end-end appears to be 8 1/8",about 1/2" less than the Saginaw...btw,has anyone done or thought of making a big-car Saginaw mainshaft end to press-fit into the Corvair mainshaft? That seems to be the route I'm headed,given the lack of Crown parts and expense of re-splining mainshafts...Tom Z..//
