G'day Richard, It is much easier to fit the R6 or R9 trans to the Six than the Eight. The next time I put the cars on my hoist I shall take some pics from underneath. As for which one is best, I prefer the R6 as you do not need electrics fitted to engage the overdrive. You do need electrics on the R6 to dis-engage the overdrive above about 17 mph. The R9 uses the solenoid and governor to engage and dis-engage the overdrive. I suggest that you find a mate with a spare chassis to have a look at the work requred. There is a fair bit of work to fit to a 37 120 for example. I shall try to get more info to you. best regards Peter Toet
