Mine is #27, I also have a Sonoma GT.
Small world right? Black/Black 92 with roof rack? nice Seems no matter what forum I'm on, there is at least one person who has or has had a SyTySoGT at some point, and then of course there is always the "my dads friends neighbor had one back in the day, ran 9's at the track " haha.

I've had at least 1 Ty in the garage for the past 16 years, I had another 92 and another 93 besides the ones in my signature.

Swapping out the zf for the m46 is an easy task, I like to row gears myself, but the short first gear on the m46 is not desirable. The zf and the d24t make a wonderful combo. Your going about it the best way with buying a complete donor car.
I'm glad you say its easy, I was somewhat worried about it, but my biggest task is probably going to be making sure that the body is good.

I've driven an '83 245 M46 D24 car before, I do recall 1st gear being very short, but eventually I'd like to swap the M46 out to a T56 or maybe a V160 or something similar. I figure I'll get this car running as it should first, but Ill take all the measurements I need to eventually do another swap.

I'm also not opposed to swapping out the rear to different ratio, even if its not a Volvo rear.

What's the plan for the rest of the 83 760 after the transmission is removed?
Haven't really thought that far ahead yet, not sure what I'll need off of it, I don't really have a use for the shell, if I can sell it to someone who could use it that would be great, I have a clean title for it, but if I can't sell it, I will be pulling all the trim and parts that may be useful for me in the future for me or I can sell and scrap whatever is left.
