I think you can swap a Rodeo box housing with a Gemini one to get a 5 speed for a DOHC.

think Gricey wants a 5 speed that will bolt up to his Twin Cam???

claws here in SA has a Twin Cam in his '65 sedan and it has a Rodeo 5 speed mated to it.
thanks for the clarification, Redzone.
i knew it was Rodeo related but good to know what its a C series and that its diesel

You could cut the bell housing from a bellett and shut it to a 5 speed. Or the 5 sp you bought up for me has had the starter hole put in. The mickey mouse box as it has 2 mickey mouse ears. :roll:

you can also cut and shut the gemini box to move the starter if you are a pretty good alloy welder, or know somebody

That's what is was trying to say down the middle of the bell housing with a couple of cross ribs or strength and prevent cracking.

you would have to remove the guts of the box and welder would need to pre-heat the whole shebang then weld it.
