Jordain Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Posted July 27, 2010 Absolutely agree with comments above that the T50 will be fine for your car, and use a T series rear diff out of a TA22/RA28/T18 or along those lines. Sounds like you will have the ability to change it to leaf spring easily enough and narrow it depending on which diff you get. 7 rib 4AGE in either bigport or smallport is a good choice too, rather than a 3 rib. The great benefit of this car is that it is light. Don't weigh it down unnecessarily. Cheer's, I may have my hands on a 7rib - small port motor. I'll have to find a t50 box then get a move on. Still cutting rust out.... and treating it. Hopefully finish both door's tonight. Quote
parrot Posted July 27, 2010 Report Posted July 27, 2010 Make sure it is a T50 for an A series engine, not a T series engine. You will pay a premium for a T50 with the clutch slave on the drivers side of the bellhousing (commonly referred to as a JDM box) whereas the 'ADM' box has it on the passenger side near the exhaust. There are ways to manage that though. I imagine it will be tight enough on the passenger side getting your exhaust past the steering linkages/draglink. Quote
