Muncie transmission
Has anyone installed a old school small block chevy with a Muncie 4 spd in to a 75 280z? I haven't seen one and wanted to know if it would fit as far as the shifter and tunnel ???

JTR Datsun Z Car V-8 Conversion, manual for Datsun V8
It's been done |
I have the latest edition of that manual but it does't have that tranny in there. T5 t56 , corvette with over drive and automatics. I'll probably go auto but saw a sweet deal here with a engine and tranny with shifter . I was just curious if the shifter and the hole in the tunnel would line up.
Thanks |

The transmissions in the JTR manual all have the shifter in the centerline of the trans with the shifter way back on the tail shaft housing. The Z used a T5 with the same setup that comes up through the center of the trans tunnel. I don't know if the shifter levers and arms would clear the tunnel but you would have to build a box on the side of the tunnel for the shifter. This is just a guess but I think the Muncie is also a lot shorter so you would probably have to get and/or make a new console.
And..... you lose the 5th (or 6th) gear overdrive. I would go with a T5 or T56. |
Yes I passed on the engine and tranny and will probably go T5 or automatic.
