    Why would it matter? Is it one of those 4 speed trannies that has a Granny low or something?
    I mean as long as it is a good transmission and you like the gear ratio what does it matter what it came out of?

    Pickup trans in a Comet? Nah, no big deal. Try being the guy that's becoming notorious for using Chevy parts. :rofl2: Hey, if it fits and works good, use it!

    Jamie,
    I guess your right about the site... I sure did get a LOT of H#@@ around here when People found out. But Everything bolted right up just like it was made for it. Phil
