Hey guys I have a question for your esteemed knowledgebase. I have access to an 81 300D normally aspirated with a blown engine, as well as an 83 300TD with a blown transmission. It is my understanding that I cannot use the normally aspirated tranny with the turbo engine, it being a completely different engine (30% more power, bigger bearings, etc.) It would further be my understanding that the turbo tranny is built for the turbo and the normally aspirated tranny won't hold up to the extra strain.

Is this right or am I totally offbase here? Could I use the normal tranny with the turbo engine? I haven't even looked at the bolt pattern yet to see if they are the same or not.

Many thanks!
Jeff
