I have a lead on a motor and tranny with only 67000km on it. It is a 1979 Mercury Capri. The car is still on the road and I will be able to drive it before committing. The question is regarding the transmission, it is a German Merkur 5 speed sent from Germany. Will it fit right in the Alpine negating the need for the T5? The price sounds reasonable and he is doing a V8 swap which is just about ready to go in. What should I ask for in addition to the motor and transmission out of the car? He is not pulling the motor until he has a buyer.
Is the '79 a good choice? I really like the low mileage, doesn't burn oil, etc.
Thanks
