Which do I go with? I've heard you can put a w56 behind a sbc 350...so it much be pretty strong. Don't care about the shifter locations as I'll have to modify the floor anyway. Which one do I choose? Is one better than the other?

Thanks guys. I searched (I know...rare!) for a tranny comparison thread but came up with a page and a half of nothing.

from what I remember the W56 is a stronger case than a G52.
both are dimensionally the same

W56 can handle a little over 200hp as oppose to the G rated at about 140hp tops. I was talking about this last week with another 84 runner owner that swapped in a W56. I read the same elsewhere through a tranny site awhile back.

I'm NOT planning on putting a SBC in front of the tranny. All I wanted to know is if I spend $50 on a W56 instead of a G52 then maybe later on it might be worth it since I could run into problems with a weaker tranny.

Definitely sounds like the w56 is the better tranny! Thanks

stagger_lee

Spend the $50 for sure. Internals a bit more stout, from the factory. I would look to make sure it has the top shift t-case though (85-88) as opposed to the forward shift. Be easier to run duals later if you choose.

neither was r151

stagger_lee

At least he was still talking trannys.

scuba

hah, And the r151 is stronger then both of those trannys, Thus why i mentioned it...

But whatev

stagger_lee

I thought it was a good suggestion.

85toy

lighten up geeze, i was picking on scuba because he posted somethiing that was not(to my knoledge) an option for the OP, also its something ppl say over on pirate, guess ill just go hang out over there.:'(

85toy

oh and i change my original post to rockwells. hah

scuba

Thank you...

I think if you went that route, all you would need would be a bell housing, and an input + output shaft..If you wanted to use your original transfer case..
But thats something someone else will have to figure out..Cause Idk the specifics...

stagger_lee

Well now you're talkin.
