TRANSMISSION R10 BORG WARNER - 230 23" BLOCK QUESTION

Recommended Posts

I am in search of a Borg Warner R10 Overdrive but I am not sure what EXACTLY what I am looking for. 

 

reason: my vehicle has a Mechanical Speedo, E-Brake on the passenger side, and shifter on top middle of 3 speed I believe. 

 

anyone have ideas what exactly I need to search for? I have found a few on E-bay for $1000 up to $2500 and am not sure if they will work. 

 

I see some pressure switch's on some with two electrical ports and am not sure what those are for on the Tranny. 

 

thanks for the insight.

I believe you will require a later bell (217 - 230 std. trans the same for many years) housing for the 230 ci newer motor as the 33 bell now in use is set up for a very small bolt pattern for the trans bolts and May be too small on the mount face . The distance from the face to the crank again May be a problem. Only way to be sure is to get one and start measuring?  Measure the distance and ask someone here about the R-10 measurements>??

There have been other posts on this forum about using these OD trans in the 30's Mopars and I believe all Do require Frame mod's at the X-member for clearance.

Maybe a forum search for R-10 in early Mopars cars??

 

Maybe there is someone who can suggest some better wording for the search?? It can make a difference.

 

It can be done but with what combo? and work?

 

The change over can be worth the work!!

I have one in my 50 Ply. 4 dr. and have also driven my friends 47 Ply. Bus. Cpe. with one.

Love them both!!
