no, only two numbers.. lol...it was just a curiosity question...

there have been a few posts about swapping TIP tranny's for a stick and we know how costly that is. I was thinking the motor swap might be simpler and less costly.

A better question - will the 6MT housing bolt to the 4.2 block. If not

your machining skills will be required to machine an adapter plate and motor mounts as the stock 4.2 mounts won't be a bolt on with the trans adapter plate.

Leading to this question --- would the Tip from a 4.2 bolt to a 2.7, reason? the 4.2 trans is stronger built (maybe?) and will survive higher HP numbers.
