Hello Bolters...
A really interesting issue has emerged. I have a 3-on the tree, 3-speed overdrive tranny. Works fine. The bell housing I used with my 6 cylinder had a fulcrum to shift between 2nd and 3rd gears, whereas my 8 cylinder does not and uses shift rods directly from the shift box to the transmission shifter arms.
As a result, now that I'm running a V-8 my 2nd and 3rd gears are in reversed positions!! I am getting by just remembering to shift from 1st to 2nd by shifting from 1st to neutral, then down to 2nd and then up to 3rd.
But my question is whether there is a different shifter arm used on the transmission when the v-8 engine is used?
Thanks
