I've got a chevy 2.8L, I'm looking for options for a decent manual transmission and x-case. That's about it.

since they came with bunches of tranny options theres alot of choices. any trans that will bolt to a 1.8,2.0,2.2,2.5,2.8,3.1 or 3.4 will bolt to the block. the trick is finding what you want with the correct tranfercase mount

t4 and t5 will bolt up with 207's behind em or you can swapo in other np cases i believe
