'82 ZX 71B tranny

[siteunseen]

What does the "RC39" stand for? I found a 2+2 '82 at a junkyard with that written on the engine bay ID plate, FS5W71B RC39. I've looked and can't find out what it means. That tranny and the motor for $150. It's an old junkyard that the kids of the deceased owner are cleaning up to sale the land, they're crushing everything old and there's about 5 Zs out there but they're ruined from sitting out so long.

Thanks for any information someone might have.

Site, I have no idea what that RC39 means, but I have seen it somewhere else in a thread or maybe even on my transmission. Just can't for the life of me remember where:ermm:. I do some digging through my photo's.

I didn't know they started noting that information on the ID plate.

Does the 2+2 have the close ratio 71B or the earlier ZX transmission? The diff would also be something to grab. If its the same as the couple, which I think it is, it will be the 3.9:1. When coupled with the close ratio, it would give the Z some extra spice off the mark.

What also would be a good buy, 2+2 has the larger 240mm flywheel. Its a bolt upgrade on the standard 220mm clutch. Makes a great upgrade and maintaining the standard clutch feel. Great for the missus and still plenty of grab.

I went out there and the motor isn't locked up, and the transmission is a close ratio for sure. Paid him $25 and he's going to put it where I can get to everything better. I'll have it in a few days, I hope!, and will put up a picture.

WRONG! It had the older tranny with the speedo cable bolt at 12 o'clock. :mad:

But I did get some flat tops and another good F54 block.

Bargin, buying something I didn't need at a price I couldn't resist.
