Engine Swap Tips
|
The heavily built 588ci all-aluminum big-block Ford ahead of a stock transmission produces 900 hp. In order keep the engine from over-revving, the owner used a Gear Vendors overdrive unit. The Gear Vendors unit bolts to the tail of the stock transmission. It essentially provides an overdrive to each of the transmission's stock gears, so there's a First gear, a First with overdrive, a Second gear, a Second with overdrive, and so on. The driveshaft must be shortened, but it's an excellent alternative where massive horsepower comes into play. This unit also works well when the builder doesn't want to swap for a stock, non-overdrive transmission-but wants to have the benefits of overdrive. View Related Article
