Don,
The original four speed out of a 62 Skylark was a BorgWarner T-10. This
tranny was originally designed for the Corvette. The version used in the
Skylark has a unique cast aluminum output shaft housing and the output shaft
itself is the same as the Dualpath automatic. There should be an i.d.
plate on the linkage cover. My Skylark T-10 has such a date. Enough for
identification; I bought my T-10 in 1989 for $400 less bellhousing. Add
at least another $150 for it.
The four barrel engine complete (including flywheel) should go for about
$200-350 depending upon condition.
If you have the car that these parts came out of you may want to cut the
larger transmission hump out of the floorpan, the pedal assembly and
steering column. Also the lower gear ratio for the manual box is desirable.
The Compact Bucik Club is semi-active, and may be a good place to sell your
parts or gain another estimate of value.
