i got this from a guy at work today. for a really good price...

i just dont know how to go about finding out what it is, what it might be worth?i know its a gm, but munci, saginaw.... i have no clue??


also, would this trans be somthing that could be put into an 84 monte carlo?? or would it just not work. i am not aware of ant manule montes, but i dont see why it couldnt be done??? i know it would take a lot of inginuity, but do you think it could be done, and worth it???



thanks so much guys, brian

 

okay. i think that i figured it out. i believe its a saginaw because of the three shift levers being on the side cover with 7 bolts. its also all cast iron.

i keep searching on the net to see if they are hearty transes, but all i can sem to find are people who love them, or hate them, but none really gives any reasons why ??

anyone here have any good, or bad experiance with saginaws? i am wondering if this would be better thn a 700r4 or not?

cool.... thanks for all the info. i looked at my trans i have and see that it has a single groove on the input shaft. which measn that it has these gear ratio's
1st 2nd 3rd 4th





1 groove


what would be a good ring gear to use. right now, i have 3.08's in the origonal ss differential. i am hoping to use the car for street/strip, not a daily driver, but i dont want something thats just going to burn through gas. hense wanting to maybe setup with a MAF TPI system. but, it still sems that a carb setup would be cheaper. so many things i want to do, and never enough money.
