Transmission questions

[Ed Kellock]

I didn't realize there was a difference in ratios, and I have one of each of
them.  

If you're going to increase the power of the 200 then the ratios for the V8
may not be a bad trade off, depending on what your end goal is.

Up here at 6100ft elevation, I wouldn't mind the 200 ratios in my V8 5spd.
But it's resting, waiting for a 4.2 swap so I think it'll be good then.

Brett,

Assuming I install the trans on a 200Q with engine that will deal with
torque, will it work OK - bolt up using 200 flywheel and clutch and work OK
with final drive to rear diff?  I don't think gear ratio would be a problem
unless the first gear were especially high.  I was looking to mate the trans
with a more powerful I5 engine - although it would not be as torquey as the
V8 to be sure.

Yikes.  That is...unusual.

The 5-speed?  No, the gearing is different for the torque-y V8. You're far
more likely to find a 200q20v transmission, regardless.
