Hello,
  You don't happen to know the gear ratios, do you?   What rear end is in the GT-500 this trans came from?

Hi Mike,
I don't know. Car it came out of had 3.91 rear axle

    Assuming 5th is "direct"?   :-\

Hello,
  Is there some stamped #'s on the side of the trans case.   Perhaps a model #?

    Just as an aid to the next guy: 

    It seems to have the bearing retainer size of the Ford 1-3/8" 10-spline, but the GM 1-1/8" 26-spline input(?), and looks like a somewhat long pilot shaft extension, which if it is of the GM 26-spline count, might also be GM length and diameter?    :-\

    So be sure to check the positioning of everything, even if it 'was' behind an FE before.  :)

    And while were guessing, I was influenced by the "Doug Nash" reference, and although this is a copy of that, it is actually a Richmond product, and it seems most of those (unlike the prior), of more recent production, will present an "over-drive" in 5th; so I'm changing my supposition from my previous posting. Maybe?  ::)   

    Scott.

The early 4+1 was 1:1 in high. It had a lower first to launch that allowed you to still cruise the highway with a "normal" rear ratio. Since it came out of a car with a 3.91 it could be one of the later ones that did have a normal 4 speed and OD high. They will take a lot of torque.
This is a great price. I looked for one for my GT1 car but ended up with a HD TKO600 that was converted to a dog box.

     B.T.W.,

     Where are you (and the trans.)?

     Can you package for freighting?

I know its a good price but thats also because I don't know any more about it than what I have posted. Be sure to ask for any pictures because it is "as is"  Yes I will crate and ship on your dime. I am in Massachusetts.

at $1,000 it's a good deal

would you know the gear ratios?

is it faceplated or pro-shifted ?

Thank you

Here are pics. It says NASH right on it so I'm going with its a Doug Nash. To people asking gear ratios like I said in first post I don't know.

Rotated and enhanced the first picture to make it easier to view. Also in the second picture, it looks like the case is possibly cracked?

      Na, that's just where D.N.E. & later Richmond "relieved" the case edge a little bit; I suppose so that one would have a starting point for driving in a wedge to split the cases.  Sometimes it gets bigger depending on the technique and implement employed in a previous disassembly effort.  :)

Nope, looks like part of the casting process

    Well, the fact that you might not have any great experience with these may be what leads you to your impression; but what you are looking at is the parting juncture between the two case haves, which presents a small sum of material reduction on each case half, this as produced by the manufacturer. 

    Now, sometimes that edge gets mauled a bit by someone in a previous disassembly process, which might then no longer present as a clean straight line, or even just not so well executed scenario by the manufacturer, but it ain't cracked!   ;)

    Not there anyway.   ::)

Not a crack. It's the parting line between the L & R sides. These are easy to work on Being able the pull a whole side off means you don't need to snake the parts in and out of the top (or side) cover. I circled the reliefs that aid in getting the halves apart.

This is the crack that I was specifically referencing.

Not a crack. Shadow of the relief machined into the case.
