I have a couple of (probably dumb) questions about a T-85 3 speed OD tranny, that I'm told was pulled from a 64 Champ pickup.
Can the a truck T-85 be used in a car? I understand the first gear is quite a bit lower? Is that the only difference? Is it possible to replace the first gear with a higher ratio gear? Or are replacement gears not replaceble, or available?
I have a 289 V8 with a T-85 3 speed OD (out of a '57? Golden Hawk, I think) in my '53 coupe, with a 3.73 rear end - I quite like the set up.
I don't know much about transmissions, so any advice is appreciated.
