<VV> [fastvair] LM Gearbox in EM chassis

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 1. I assume by LM you mean the 66-69 Sag box. 
2. The 3 speed and the 4 speed are externally identical, mounting wise. 
3. Why would you use the 3 speed instead of the 4 speed? The 4 speed is a better choice. 
4. The 66-69 Sag will bolt  to an EM diff, just don't use two of the bolts, and trim the gasket where needed. You could use the whole LM transaxle, just leave out the yoke nuts inside the diff. You'll have to do some machine work to add the speedo components, however.

Hi,

Out of curiosity (and a possible future project) has anyone put a late model gearbox in an early chassis? (Not a PG. I know that would work fairly easily.) Why, well probably just because. Certainly we have plenty of early transmissions, but the late gearbox has advantages, such as being a bit more robust. Also, if someone really, really wanted to stick an LM three speed in an EM turbo, which topic generated a long stream of email many years ago (some thinking that the LM three speed would be perfect for a turbo), then what would it take?

It's kinda warm and my mind was wondering to unusual realms.

Regards,
