it has a 72 318 la engine in it with a a904 3 speed junk tranny (leaks like a ford ) i would like to do a 5 speed manual but i dont know what tranny will bolt up i think a nv 3500 out of a 94 and up dakota will but im not that familiar with the manual transmission bellhousings what are you guys thoughts |
|
I that would be fine but idk if I want to dump 1000 1500 dollars on a tranny right now anyway
|

|
That's C4, C6, and FMX not one leak so kis my sweetie mopar/ Ford butt.:laugh:

So I'm thinking that a nv 3500 from a 94 to 04 Dakota will bolt up to a 72 la 318 I'm not 100% sure but that would be a nice option Let me know if anyone has seen this combo or Hurd of it |

Swap sounds like a plan....
|
So I've read that the cranks for the automatic set up do not have a machined spot for the pilot bearing but people have got around that with a generic bearing that fits the rough machine hole for the autos
Next battle is deciding nv3500 or nv 4500 and I think there is a 3500 hd also I know they will bolt up to the engine but I'm not sure on gearing the rear axle is going to get changed also it's I believe a 8 1/4 with something like 245. 255 s. So I am thinking like 343 ish will work nice |
You might try it first... You might like it that low geared out on the hwy... :)

I put an ax-15 from a dakota v6 behind a 318 la in a 67 coronet used the pilot bearing, flywheel, clutch and made the pedals fit from the dakota too. Had to modify floor and trans mount. Been three years now no issues. Oh yea you will want to get a 97 or older to get the cable speedo to work.

I assume an ax15 is a 5 speed nv 3500
sry I don't know the tranny model's |

I would rather go with a nv4500 myself. I'm not sure on the older ones but on the later models they had a issue with the 5th gear comming undone. It's a pretty simple fix. And also will hold anything you will throw to it. Far as pilot bearing. That shouldnt interfere bc your pilot bearing should be in the flywheel. But I could be wrong.
