xr8_sprint

Hi Guys....

I'm building a hot 351C and hope to put out approx 650hp.

I'm looking for a manual transmission and i've come accross a "Liberty Gear Pro-Shifted Toploader" and i was wondering if anyone knew of any of these in service, or have heard on how they perform.

I have found one in the US but im unsure if it will withstand 650+hp, 6000rpm launches, 10.5" slicks with 3500lbs...

Thanks

Shane

Yes it will handle the power no problem at all.

ps
they are a one way dog box not suitable for the street

by one way do you mean 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 shifting?

how much hp do you think it could take?

i know of a RX3 over here doing 9's through one of these boxes so i was quite sure it would cope

what are these things worth?

can you just buy the cogs and modify a toploader rather than send the whole box from the states?

cheers

By one way, i mean you can upshift, but not downshift. I think you can get a newer version that shifts both ways, but i'm not sure. Jerico certainly make one.

And you dont need liberty shifting to run 9's. A standard toploader will do.

So how would i get from top gear back to 1st or neutral?

Im not so much concerned about the strength of the toploader, more so the ability to shift at 8000rpm

You do realise that these things are worth around $10k?

xr8_sprint

I dont think so.. i'm talking a Ford Toploader that has been Pro-Shifted by Libertys Gears.

Theres one in the US that i hope to land for approx $1800Aud brand new.. or a second hand one here in Perth which i believe the person wants $1500 or so for.

A mate has a liberty shifted bull nosed top loader sitting under the bench. Unfortunately they wont fit behind a small block (the input shaft is too short)
