Toploader question...or two
Well, after planning on a Tremec for my build, I happened upon a toploader at a decent price which looks very good from what can be seen of the inside. The guy swears up and down that it works great, but is there anything you would replace or at least check before putting it in the car? I believe in the "If it aint broke, don't fix it" saying, but I also dont want to have to take it out after getting the car put together for something simple. All Syncros look nice and squared off, no chipped gears, and it spins freely.
Number two- according to the numbers, it is out of a 67-68 Mustang with a 390...but it also has numbers stamped on the front edge drivers side of transmission, just behind where it mounts to the bellhousing. According to David Kee's website, these numbers indicate it was for a CJ, SCJ, Boss, or Mach. This to me makes no sense as 69 was first year for Machs and Bosses, and the only CJ and SCJ I am aware of are 428's. Am I missing something here?
The numbers are RUG-M2, 02837, and on the side, near the top cover are C8AR-7006-D W2. Can anyone decipher these numbers?
Thanks,
Greg
