I have read the posts about running a R452 5th gear set in a R150/151f trans to get a .69 overdrive ratio. I got excited when I heard about this option, however that elation was quickly deflated when I found out about the availability of the R452 transmission.
My question is this; Why cant the gears be made new in the US (or perhaps a willing manufacturer), and sold as an upgrade for the R150/151's
I think with gas prices being high many would welcome a better overdrive. And would make a R150/151 a more viable option for V6 and V8 swaps that don't run
3000+ rpms cruising.
I admit to being selfish and wanting someone else to make it for me, but i have money.
