MA5 5-speed to 5.7 hemi?

Hi :)
Any questions? Remember I made this a few years ago and there is more on the market today.

clutch I used centerforce dual friction. The plate is from a company called advanced adapters. SB diameter with Toyota splines.

well, if you have the link to moparts it is all written there. All, including the new clutch hydraulic.

There is no difference if you have the SB or a Hemi. It remains the same. You just need a new flywheel (Hemi) or redrill the existing SB flywheel ( i did that, because europe and parts availability doesn't meet that well for those special parts).

The input shaft of the r154 is shorter and smaller in diameter. You need an adapter. Not to buy, homemade but veeeery simple....

Tranny works very well behind my 6.1. You know our Autobahn? :) I do race a bit there and 1/4 mile as well. but on the track the shifting is hard and difficult under full load. For highway this tranny is perfect!

So, any questions? Feel free ;)

It's good to hear from you. You, Greg and Clair have definitely paved the way on this swap for me. I appreciate you guys trying something different and giving us all more and better options for OD transmissions in our old cars. As for the shift quality of the R154, it does seem to have a pretty rough reputation out there. That's why I pursued the GM MA5 trans as it's known for its slick shifting. I'm not "familiar" with your autobahn but I'd sure love to be someday. Sometimes it feels like we've (the states) just lost the desire to innovate, take risks and imagine new things.

this is a really nice ford tranny. Available for USD 300 like the R154? :D

Are you referring to the transmission I'm trying to run? It's a GM transmission made by Aisin with heavy roots in the R154.

If your gonna swap manual, do something worth it, otherwise you can have plenty of fun manual shift auto. It ain't like the a904/727 is unresponsive or the OD versions of them. Slap your left foot on the floor board when you shift.

Once again, is there something sub-par about this transmission you know about that I don't? It's funny to me that anyone would think I'm intentionally working towards putting in some half-assed effort by the oem, known for failure and poor shift quality. I've been down every road on this, 904/727 with a gear vendors, 4L65e paddle shifted with an engine braking valvebody, A500/A518 auto OD's, Tremec swaps from every conversion shop on the planet, lastly was the GM 2004r. So, of all of these options I've looked at(for years), which one do you believe I should put in my car? I feel like people aren't actually reading the thread, I've already explained this a couple times...
