a transmission thought...

Thinking about it, I can't really think of one...but did they ever make a ZF6 that would bolt up to my 300 I6? I'd love to have 6 speeds to choose from...but IIRC they only made them for diesels/Modular gas motors...or am I missing one? Thanks guys!

Nope, no ZF6 will fit the old gas engines.

Thankfully they did keep the same bolt patern on the diesels with the ZF6, so anyone with a Diesel, from 1983-1997 can swap in a ZF6, it's a direct bolt in deal!




I wonder if a adapter plate can be made though? That would be pretty nice having a ZF6 behind a 300!
