Greetings G-Body community.
I'm in the process of the collecting parts to build a G-body Cutlass. Goal is a budget build with an Olds 350 or 403 (really leaning towards the 403) and I want it to be a manual trans car. This will be street cruiser not a track car.
I've found a cheap Doug Nash 4 + 3 from a C4 Corvette for sale locally.
From what I gather this is basically a T-10 4speed with an electrically actuated overdrive. I know that G-bodies (techincally A-bodies?) came with 4spds in a few early cars, but was the Saginaw 456. What I'm trying to figure out is why can't I find any info about swapping this trans into a G-body? To me it seems easier than a T-5 swap....
If anyone has attempted this swap let me know; or if you know why it's a bad idea I'm keen on listening.
TIA
BTW I'm new to this Forum but I've built a few cars and Jeeps over the last 20 years; this'll be my first Gbody build though.
Just sold my last project:
