I thank you for the reply. I want to get rid of the three speed so I can shift on the floor. The three speed is getting pretty shot anyhow. If I were to use my present bell housing and clutch, could I throw a T-5 behind it? I've read alot of posts about useing that tranny. I was quoted a price of 165 at a local bone yard for a 73 complete Nova rear. Does that sound like a fair price? Thankyou again.
