Dodge 230 I6/fluidrive questions

So I pulled the engine and ****** out of the wayfarer yesterday, and seperated the ****** from the engine, by the way this transmission is about the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Anyway, my question is, is this just a regular 3 spd. with a torque converter stuck in front? If so what parts do I need to put a regular clutch and flywheel in front of this thing? bellhousing? input shaft? starter? or a whole different trans. I really want to ditch this hokey *** setup so any help would be much appreciated.

 

You will need a bell, flywheel, clutch and trans from a 'normal' 3-speed package.
Keep in mind that you will need to re-work the shift linkage since the trans is moving forward a wee bit.
Have you checked in with the guys over at www.p15-d24.com ?

Have you considered a 5-speed? No, it is not without a bunch of work.

You will also have to extend your rear motor mounts forward to pick up the shorter bell housing. You will also need the four bolt fly wheel from a 218 or an eight hole flywheel from a 230 from a late 50s Plymouth. You can buy almost every thing you need from vintage power wagon.

 

if you want a auto wilcap has adapters for a powerglide/th350, theres also adapters for a t5

 

hey thanx guys, after checking with the guys at p15-d24 i think I might just stick with this thing, seems they are actually pretty simple and trouble free.
