Im mostly using it as an example of a typical domestic RWD pickup setup, where the shifter will come out if you bolted it up in a MB sedan.

Interesting to know the ratio's on it though. I ended up selling it to a S-10 tuner thug when I found my other chevy tranny, which probably has the same ratios
