And I'll be f**k if im going to spend $6-10k on a gearbox in a $15k car. If engine only had a few mods I'd go a t5 for sure. Have you got enough grunt to break a toploader? Not likely :wink: As I thought, HOs and RPO's couldn't break them, big blocks use them.a manual conversion isn't hard, you have allready got some tools, you have shown the ability to bolt stuff together when you fitted a pump. $6 - 10k, you could buy alot of manual set ups for that.

Don't need grunt, had a rear seal come out of a toploader once, that sure as hell f**ked it.

Well, if you really want a strong gearbox I can sell you one that will handle 10,000HP with a bearing L10 life of 10,000hrs.
Only problem is it's a right angle industrial gearbox, would set you back somewhere in the region of $300,000 and weights in at about 14.5 tonne. Oh, and they're 3.55m tall
