happy new year everyone,
i have a 58 transtar with the original champion straight6 in hawthorne california and i need the engine rebuilt- who is ''the'' person i should get in contact with? PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
i can and will ship the motor if i need to.
also can any one give me contact info for someone who can overhaul the borg-warner trans please please please
i actually would like to bump up the power a lil bit from the engine and perhaps change the trans gears so i could make a drive from southern california to michigan this summer...and use the expresswaysand not be to much of a road hazzard.
thanks in advance for any/all help from you fine people

You are going to need a T-90 Borg Warner 3 Speed with Overdrive, or even a T-96 O.D. from a Car, and a 4.09 or 4.27 Ratio rear Axle to get that little 6 rolling.
The Ring and Pinion Suppliers like Randy's Ring and Pinion, have the parts needed for these Dana 44 Type Axles to "speed them up" and the 4X4 Shops Install them.
