    Doing 5spd swap I have a question

    I just picked up my 5spd swap and what a great buy!!!! I got everything for $50.00 even grabbed the right side axle to have an extra.

    Does anyone know the gear ratios on the 5 spds? It is from an 89 with carb. I would really like to know what gears are in this thing!!!

    Also i read the right ups about this any one want to add any cautions be fore I start?

    so a carb 5 speed tranny will be slower but give you better fuel mileage?

    The Fi tray has a higher gear ratio then the carb so the fi tray will give better gas mileage.
