What years had the AR5 transmission?
When I put the AX15 in my '34 Ford, behind the Chevy 377 stroker engine I used the Novak adapter and it worked very well. I don't have any road miles on it yet because I have a brake system problem but I have driven it around the driveway (long).
For the members that aren't familiar with the AX15 they were used in Jeep and Toyota vehicles. I presume the AR5 would be the same but I am not sure on those. They are supposed to be a pretty tough 5 speed OD transmission.
I would be interested in hearing about the AR5 experiences also.
