yeah i think im taking it to milzy. remember scott? stayed with us at ass? his bro lives in oh and we are supposed to stay there while they work on it... or hes gonna get a free hotel like when we went to ass. and i omly have 2 seats cause i ripped out the back ones lol

i think i will be going with the 6 speed. you have a point cause the whole shipping thing, and take a min to sell.

i emailed mike at milzy asking when i could take it there. just waitin for a reply

From looking at Fiero forums, and other motor swapped cars the prefered manual transmission to hold power is either the Getrag 282, or the F23. Lots of high power fieros have blown apart numerous f40s. That's why the mentioned 5 speeds are preferred.

but how much power are they running with it? the f40 is capable up to 295 tq.

the F23 only holds 170 tq

cant find tq specs on the 282

400+whp 500+tq

One member went back to the f23 after 3 failed f40s...and the has been fine for 3 years. That member is running a 700hp supercharged SBC........:scpimp:

hmmmm idk so many choices!

After thinking over it for so long. If you are gonna drop 3 or 4 grand, why not just do a full t5 swap? I wish I would have sometimes. I might still in the future. I'd like to break some records first though.......

that would be a pretty good challenge to make it work.

There is an LS7-powered Fiero that was built right up the road from me.
Has a F40 with cyro'd gears and a Quaife LSD.
It makes lots of power and hasn't blown up yet.
