HI, I'm new to this site, and was wondering if anyone could help me out with some info.

I have a 72 Dart Swinger Special, it has a built 318 out of a 68 Coronet, I want to put a 5 or 6 speed manual in it, but don't want to spend the money on a T56 for a Viper. I have been looking into NVG 3500s, but I think the body is too big for the car, what about the Getrag 238? I want a close gear ratio, but something that will hold about 400+ ft lbs. It also has to fit in the car, and the shifter needs to come out in a normal spot.

Thanks for the help!

 

Easy to do NOT cheap !!!!!

Welcome,
But just outta curiosity, whats wrong with an ole 833, guareented to fit, bolt in and can handle the power.
Perhaps,
a BW T10 is an option?
Granted, its a 4 spd stock but iirc,
I thought I read somewhere,
there's a kit to convert it to a 5spd (?)
plus you'd have to build up a T10 a little anyway...

 

the t56 was also used in camaros and firebirds. but i don't think the 318as the torque to pull sixth gear.
