901 Trans into a T-3?

[Tom Notch]

Due to tha fat torque curve of the 2.6L I have in my notch, I'm going with a 4speed Bus box with the Berg intermediate housing conversion. It will be somewhat of a bolt in for me as I am also using the bus center bell housing mount which will be a replacement for the T4 auto mount I grafted in. No shift linkage issues.... anyway

Tom:

Did you regear the bus box?
Other than better shifting, what does the berg int. housing provide?

I'm very strongly considering sticking an 091 in my 73 square this week as part of the T4 swap... adding faux frame horns to allow a mid mount.
I'm going to try and eliminate the rear mount to allow some dry sump testing. (5 bar kafer brace, all Tractor Supply bits again)

Curious how the highway gearing is with stockish height tires, seemed to be way too loud on my sons Bug, but this will be rubber isolated at least to some extent, all tied into the rubber mounted rear suspension.

The Mahle 914 rims w/195-60s look and fit great...
