Yes, but Maximas are VERY fast.

I have a 2.88 low ST-10 and 3.00 gears in my 67 Nova. It's not as bad as you would think if you build a mild (cam) motor. Are you sure that the input and main shaft isn't a Ford and not a GM. The H trans is listed as a Ford replacement but I have not looked at one so I don't know.

It's a 6 5/8" input, which I believe is Chevy standard (it's the same as the NV4500 I have in the garage). The main case is drilled for both Ford and Muncie patterns. I know that the T5 kits for the old Mustangs have a spacer plate included, so it must have been later than the mid-60s when they went to the longer input.

Where'd you find information on the "H"?

Since you may be using that trans...will you consider selling the NV4500?

The 4500 is for my GMC project. The T10 is just something I've had laying around for years with no purpose in existence.

I'm stuck with the same situation. I'm gonna end up putting in a $40 Saginaw 3-speed out of a junkyard just to get the car set up for the future. TH350 is unacceptable.
