Hello

I have a 1973 Dodge W 100 4X4 Power Wagon that has a 3 speed manual tranny on the column and was wondering if an 4 speed overdrive tranny from a 1980 Dodge Van would bolt in. They both have a slant six engine.

Any information would be appreciated--Thanks!

Kevin

I believe the bellhousing will have the pattern for the OD trans, but I don't know about the driveshaft length or shifter location.

You could use the BH and clutch/flywheel from the '80 Van too, and there are no swap issues with the crank pattern - they are the same.
