what gearbox to run

Post by Evil13 »

so iv almost finished the sr20de for my 1200 ute, iv got a sr20 bellhousing i was going to go with a sr20 or a stumpy L-series gearbox but i have now decided to fit a bench seat in the ute and make it columnshift manual so i something else is there any model datsun that runs a manual columnshift behind a L-series engine? or something else that will easily be modified to work
cheers

not sure. You would have to have a good look at the gearbox and see if it looks doable
