What transmission?!

[Danny_svt_99]

Also let me know if any of you guys need anything made. I'm going to make my own design for it and I'll post pictures but let me know if you ever need anything sheet metal for the car

Make sure to take pictures and keep us updated. Im really curious to see how it turns out.


And make sure to document the whole project, not just the transmission.

It came factory on 4.6 cars, but what harness/ecu were you planning on using for the 331 setup? That may need to be looked into. And different flexplate

The v6 4r70w shares the same bell housing pattern as the pushrods engines do. Youll need a 4r70w from a modular engine.

Well alot of stuff has to change. My 331 was going to be very simple with very few wires, mechanical gauges, hei dizzy etc it I am not going that path because the nys DMV has to be difficult and if I were to make that it has to be a track only car, so I said ok whatever I want to be. A street car so I debated a 5.4 swap cause it's basically a 330 but I heard mixed things about it and I settled on a 4.6 build. I planed on a pretty much stock block and just building the top end. I was going to get stock harness and ecu and everything else. Buty next question is say I got the moduler version of the tranny can I make it in to a Manuel valve body and not have any issues with the computer?

Can I not just change the bell housing?

The bellhousing on my 4R which came out of a 97 GT is all one piece with trans housing

I'd have to register it as a custom car cause I can't pass inspection because I'd have no obd if I did the stroker, and the only way around the one test and just get a safety inspection is to register it as a custom car and home built but by doing that it's this extremely long and annoying process and I'd actually have to bring the car to a highway patrol station and have a feild examiner inspect the car. It's beyond aggravating.

Is the car not drivable as it sits with the v6? If it is, can’t you register it like that then do the conversion?

It's registered and insured right now it's not running though but the issue is inspection. I have a friend theat can inspect it but he can't do anything about the obd2. There's no way around that. Unless I have a modern engine. If the car was 1995 or older I would not have a issue because I just need a safety inspection and no emmision

Does your state have collectors or historic? What year is the VIN again?

2003 and yes we have both but has to be older then 25 model years. Right now it's 1995 or older. I can really solve it all but selling the car and buying a fox but I really like the new edge

So I'm really not sure what I want to do
I'd really like to keep my transmission so idk what do you guys think?

I can make it a stick but I daily drive a stick and eh I kinda want a ratchet shifter it's faster anyway and I like it I always have but in general I'd like to keep my tranny
