aa8jz Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 My son has been driving an 88 gl auto. We are considering swapping this with a 5 spd manual. How big a job? We have pulled a few motors and 1 xmsn, replaced head gaskets etc. Are there hidden nightmares lurking about? How large a job in comparison to engine swapping? Just signed on today to the service. What a great source. tnx rick w michigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it 2wd or 4wd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 You will need to have the diff match the tranny ratio, should be 3.9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
