......"could use one from a 6cyl behind my 302 ?"
No....you will need all V/8 parts fr. the flywheel/clutch/bellhousing back....including the adaptor & starter.
----------(& of course., the pedal assy. under dash., & push-rod/bellcrank assy. on the frame) ----
You can use any D-20 transfer & it will all line up as the adaptor is diff.
Dr. shafts should be fine. You'll need a 3sp. floor shifter.
Rat/Ran are the same, except for gear ratio, as I recall. (2 diff. lengths on the adaptor though)
Toms & Wild Horses have all parts (used) needed....as do JBG & the other EB parts houses.
----TIP while apart.., (trannie/transf/adaptor) there's some roller bearings (large needle) that can fall into the cases if your not careful.
No biggie...just something to be aware of.
Tranny is re-buildable...but best to have a manual to guide you.
