    [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]TREMEC 5-SPEED HD? just ad to throw it out there because it dose have 8 shifter locations. but on that note it cant be because you would have just used one of those other 7 locations. btw good looking car.

    I pulled the tranny out of a 1982 ford pickup that I had it is a rx4. Tranny with bellhousing was the same length same mount and yoke. It was behind a 302 that was mildly built ran for years figured if it work in the comet. Its way high geared.
