>From my own experiments, I can tell you the BW will not fit without major
alterations to the tunnel area & lower footwells. I am not familiar with the
GM tranny, but would expect the same based on the size of other GM autos.
Simplest swap would be to use a stick shift, either a GM T-5 (my choice) or
a Rover 5-speed.

Subject: bw65 / gm180
Hi there,
I am looking to do a conversion on my 79 gt . I have the option of a 1983
sdi
with bw65 attached or a 1986 vitesse egine (minus injection) with a gm180
attached . Both these transmissions are standard options with the engines.
Can any one advise me as to ;
1/ will the bw 65 from an sd1 fit in the transmission tunnel with out any
mods
,if they are so what are they ?
2/ I would prefer to use the vitesse engine and gm180 ,would this fit into
the
transmission tunnel with out any mods , If at all possibe I woud prefer to
keep the body as standard as I may put the engine into another car later
regards
Mike Slade.
