You can use 97-02. 97 has to be from a GTP.....all other years can be from a GT if you wanted to swap to the 3.29's that is. Now is the time to throw a 300m and 7/8" or at least a V8 speck chain in there.
The chain isn't 300M btw
I really hope you plan on doing this at the same time as the engine, no point in doing an engine then a trans shortly after IMO that's a crap ton of work to do twice.........
Isn't that much work. Only takes 1.5 or 2 hours to drop a trans out, then a bit of time to freshen up and another 2 hours til you are test driving.
Jay, I tried for ya buddy...I tried!
