I have a 75 comet sedan with a 250ci engine and an automatic tranny and I was wondering how realistic it would be to swap the tranny for a manual? What kind should I get if this is even a good choice. I have a wide range of junk yards and other old cars to choose from and all the tools to do it...
The 250 uses the same bellhousing as a sbf, So thats good. I really dont know nothing about manual trannies. But you might wanna check fordsix.com i bet youll find your answer there. Good Luck!
Only hard part might be the clutch pedal set up. They are getting pricey unless you can find one in a junkyard. As far as transmissions, I would go with a T5. Going to have to fab up some clutch linkage but there are lots of options. Hydraulic would be the easiest.
Ok thank you guys!!!! another option has popped up what if I put a speed shifter on insted of totally replacing the tranny? What are your thoughts on this?
