Re: "Pinché Caliché" '57 StepSide/LSx/CrownVic
The NV-4500 is a 5-speed, isn't it? and with a 5.xx first gear, it's basically a 4-speed now, since you can't really use first gear for more than pulling trees.
I have an NV-3500 for mine and it even has a 4.03 first gear, which would be useless with any decent rear end gear, but it will fit just right with my Jag IRS and its 2.88
Basically, if you want a 6-speed, you will need to pony up the big bucks for a t-56. Around here, they go for around $1200-ish. I constantly monitor the junkyards around here for a Camaro or Trans-Am with one, but all they ever get are auto cars. However, if the day comes, I may be able to score one for $150!!!
Anyways...you got a cool truck, with some great patina. Enjoy your time working on it.
