Using a van 4-speed to create a cheap OD trans.

One more question. What years of vans and pickups will work for this?

There are is one in a 81 van with a slant and another in a 78 power wagon down here in the junk yard Bull. But you would have to come down to Eugene. Having been in that JY many times I bet you could walk outta there with one for a hundred buck.

Mid 70's through the early 90's.

Funny you say that because 90% of the yards up here in the Portland area only have late model stuff. And the other 10% are overpriced because they know guys are stripping them for all the usable muscle car stuff. There is one yard I can check on out near Boring.

Thanks for the info, 694spdRT.

I have 4 or 5 of these overdrive transmissions that I will be selling at the Nats.

Bull, why not look ar a Passon 4 speed overdrive.  It fits in the stock tranny case and is made to be abused. 

I wouldn't be using an aluminum case OD trans in anything i planned on having any fun with

I emailed Passon about it, Ron, and their OD kit is only for the 18-spline trans.

Dang....that's too bad !  Those Passon 4spd overdrives are bulletproof....it would have been a nice option for you Curtis

ron,how do you think the passon od converson would work in my 70 charger,with 800plus hp.?
have you used one?
is the r.p.m. drop ok? i have over 700 ft lb of torque do you think it would hold up?

thanks,brian

the rpm drop will be ok with that much torque...     should also hold up to 800hp...
