I am sure this has been covered before but as i am about to install a HR front end to my EK Ute i thought i might go a bit further and change the Gearbox to something more modern and something that "does not scream its lungs out on the freeway" I am keeping the grey motor so i would like comments from the forum on what box they think i should go far incl model number if possible. I know about the modifications i need to make i realy just need suggestions on which box

All 3 and 4 speed boxes have top gear as 1:1 ratio so there is no advantage in different boxes for highway driving. Most 5 speed boxes have 5th as an overdrive gear which is good on the highway. The other alternative is to change your diff to one with a different ratio (3.55 or 3.36) or even go to 14 inch wheels.

on the topic of gearbox selection...
has anyone slotted a T700 auto into an FC?
I'm toying with the idea of swapping the top loader I've got behind the V8 for an auto.

No idea Jezz but it sounds like a great idea, it would make cruizin a real pleasure in addition to removing some F&*$ contamination

Keep the Top Loader so the Mrs can't drive it

Mick,
Wander into Dellows at Revesby and say: "I got an EK ute. It has a Grey Motor. I want overdrive. Watchya got?"
Fly with what they say, even if you use their advice but not product.
