Am in the process of converting my GA over. Am using a getrag 282. I can let ya guys know how it feels.

Why not the F23? Its apparently an easier swap, more readily available and you'll be able to find lower mileage units because they're more recently made than the 282

good luck, i'll finish mine if I ever get any time..........

story of your life.....:lol: all the years i've been here and i NEVER EVER heard anything about your car and the road in the same sentence. You planning to have this done by 2015? :lol: By then there wont even be gas powered cars;)

My car will never be done. I can tell you for sure that my built motor won't be going in for at least two years. I have other priorities like family and finishing school. I will however finish the 5 speed swap this year and then concentrate on getting the whipple hooked up on the stock motor. Then i'll pretty much be content with that until I graduate school......

Sorry to bump a old thread. But just doing research. Has anybody figured out on the cv axels. Will the 2.4 GA axels fit. Or will there have to be custom built

Well if you did a bit of digging. And clicked on the link provided on the first page Then go to the 4th page on the said link, you will find your answer

This needs so much updating the f40 is now the obvious choice

Well no.. The title says 5 speed not 6 and everything here pertains to putting a 5 speed getrag into a 3x00 n-body... Theres a list of required parts on Milzy's site for the 6 speed swap.

I still think a 5 speed would be better for drag racing.. The F23 may not be as reliable as the F40 for a V6, but when its comes to drag racing, the general consensus is the less gears, the better.

I disagree, automatic is the obvious choice for drag racing.....

I'm swapping to a 5 speed simply for fun.......

Auto is much better for drag, std. Is just more fun

depends on which 5 speed you are using......

Im doing a 6-speed swap in the near future

best of luck :) doin it yourself or?

Hes just going to drop it off somewhere and wait a few years to get it back
