I recently picked up a 67' 220 with a BW35 in it. It seems like the trans in pretty bad shape after the previous owner tinkered around with it it. The trans fluid dipstick tube is completely disconnected and managed to leak about 2 quarts of tranmission fluid all over my driveway. I really do not know the condition its in and hesitate to find out since its probably bone dry now that the fluid leaked.

I found an m41 for sale in Austin, and was thinking about going that route until I read on VClassics that it will not be a plug and play swap and requires some mods to fit. I figrued since there was a plastic cap in the tranmission housing, that it would just fit right in.

I have a box of spare parts (gears, bellhousing, fluid pan, clutch, ect) that came with the car that might be good if I decided to go the rebuild route.

Any advice or info on whether to swap (and what is involved) or go for a rebuild on the Borg Warner would be appreciated.
