I bought a 79 for parts last yr......
It was already someone`s parts car but had the complete drivetrain intact. I used the driveline parts for my 5 spd. conversion. Now, I have a complete unmolested 4.5L engine and a good 84 auto trans setup from the flywheel back. Engine is not seized and trans came out of my running 84 w/90K miles. Is there any value or interest in this stuff? Taking up room in the shop. Located in the Phoenix area.

Nevermind, yours is going to be a 4 speed correct?
I've got a customer in Alabama who is going to need a 3 speed trans. I told him i'd keep an eye out for one. His car won't be back here until next year for its yearly visit unfortunately.

Sean the 3spd cars really wake up with another gear.

I would second what BC said the 4 speed auto is a better trans for the 928 that will be doing a good deal of hi speed driving.

My only gripe with the stock 4 speed in the huge change in ratios between 2nd and 3rd gear.
It would be a much better (more fun to drive) unit if it had the even gear spacing of the 3 speed units.
The 4 speed does get you an overdrive gear so you will get massive gains in fuel economy over long distance driving at speed.
