Hello, I have a 47 Chevy Coe with the factory 4 speed tranny. We want to keep the factory rear end under it but would like for it to go a little faster. Has anyone put a 5 speed tranny in one or have some advise of what to do. Thanks for the input.

5 speed wouldn't make any difference. Do you mean 5 speed overdrive? I just did that to a 58 LCF that had a 4 speed.
It was very expensive and time consuming. Granted, getting all of the parts to make a small input shaft New Process 5sp OD match a Pontiac block/bellhousing is probably way more complicated than chevy-chevy. Bottom line...it only gained me about 200 RPM. 22.5's or 24.5 rear tires would probably net more
