I've read many threads on this but feel like I'm still missing something. I have a '52 3100 - with '54 235 engine - 3 speed - I'm going to put a new rear axle / drive shaft / and possibly a transmission. Trying to keep it somewhat period correct but more driveable. I have a 60' Impala axle ready with choice of 3.08 or 3.36 gears. I realize replacing the axle the torque tube goes away and need a driveshaft. The big question is can I use the original 3 speed manual transmission with this setup? Or will I need to find a newer 3 speed transmission. Any special tips to doing this?
On a side note I bumped into a borg-warner 3 speed manual with overdrive that came out of a '65 Studebaker - at first appearance it looks like this might be an option?
Thanks for any help! I'm in over my head and these forums have been a huge help.
