engine/trans matching question

how do you match up an engine and tranny? for example, if i have an engine made for a 4X4 is there any tranny that will work in a FWD car??? or even a engine from RWD car fitting in FWD car??? any sites to find mathing transmissions so i know what to look for?

if u would specify the enging and what it came out of, and the car thats its going into, then mayb some1 could help u out

diffrent trannies match up to diffrent engine … are you trying for a spesfic application?

here’s an example … the LT1’s in camaro’s and firebirds, which were all RWD also went into caprices which were FWD … diffrent trannies though

the focus has a zetec in a FWD platform, the escape has it in 4x4, an earlier version is in the escort cosworth, sierra, etc. in awd, it was in the late 80’s ford merkur’s in rwd, in the caterham 7 in rwd. google rocks

this is useless, but…dodge 5.9 360: in ram for a while (including vans and ramcharger), in dakota r/t, durango r/t and jeep grand cherokee 5.9 and im sure it was in in a few other things along the way and its prob been around a while.

trannies are finicky chances of you matching up somehting like you are talking about .00001%

caprices r fwd?

no caprices are rwd as far as i know.

yes they have always been and will always be RWD, talking about caprices

What Caprice was FWD?

well after 4 years I have finally started my :snky::snky: project, but still in the planning phase.

yeah, no more glowing 626, and soon the mini-minivan will be gone :slight_smile:

so what trannty are u mating to what motor

then y did my cousins drift down the road when i was beating the piss out of it. def was no ebrake drift. i dont see it beign like a intrepid with the motor facing forward.

then u need to rethink where u stand in the car world…they all are…

:cry:

my bad guys, you misread what i was saying back there, i meant to type: no, in response to the question, and then caprices are rwd. Obviously they are rwd.

FORGIVEN :slight_smile:
