That true - but I would not use the stock tranny that was behind a V6,
with a V8 in front of it. The 42RH/E is NOT strong enough for even a
stock 318 or 360. The "strength" rating is in the 2nd number.
42RH is what comes behing the V6.
the 4 denotes the number of forward gears
the 2 is the strength rating (higher the stronger)
R is rear wheel drive (primary)
H is for the Hydraulic or E for Electronic on newer trannys
Going with a V8 engine conversion? Go with a V8 tranny conversion too.
