"Here's how you ID a Saginaw 4-speed trans.

4 speed Saginaws
no lines= 2.84-2.01-1.34-1.00
1 line= 2.54-1.80-1.44-1.00 common
1 Line= 2.54-1.80-1.32-1.00 rare
2 Lines= 3.11-2.20-1.47-1.00
3 Lines= 3.50-2.46-1.65-1.00

And, imho, the rare, 2.54 tranny would live the longest behind a good motor! And next, the common 2.54 tranny... Next, the 2.84 followed by the 3.11 and last the 3.50...

And I figure you will shell a 3.50 tranny in a heartbeat if you HOOK!"

I switched out my '80 6-banger C/10, P/U's 350 low gear 3-speed column shift for the 350 low 4-speed floor shift.
