I wouldn't put the clunky Ford piece of junk into a Holden, unless you are going to go doing burnouts or drag racing, or you have a 300+ hp engine. Aussie 4spds are cheap and easy to rebuild and will last for a long time in a properly driven HJ. Toploaders are alien to the car, you have to do some butchering to the tunnel to make it fit and uni joints, clutch plates etc are all non-standard. Toploaders are strong boxes though, not as good as a Muncie or Super T10, but worth keeping in case you ever want to run a stroked 308 (350, 377 etc) and want to keep a manual.
thank for youre advice! will stick with the aussie 4 speed! might be a good investment but .$600 pretty cheap so i am led to beleive! could not reply onother car id stuff youre storage is too full!answer is yes all lf above
I cleaned some messages out.
no worries! im new to this computer caper but learning slowly.
top loader is a bit 1980's / 90's style conversion, but at least the shifter comes out in the right spot for a holden console.
