·While driving merrily down the freeway at 65 mph I was greeted by the sound of a high pitched whirring and bang. After coming to a stop at the side of the road I figured out that my tranny had blown up. See exhibit A, a view from the front.

Note the gears hanging down in the middle center. I also have a picture of the piece that came flying off and the hole in the tranny up close:

So I rented a trailer and drove her back up to the San Francisco bay area. Now I have to figure out what I want to do to get her going again.
Suggestions anyone? The car is a '69 Convertible, 351W, and 3-speed manual with a newly added ventilation hole. I was looking to go for something along the lines of a 4 or 5 speed. Any thoughts on how hard it would be to put in a 4 speed toploader or a t-5? Costs?
Thanks in advance for all your help,
Dave.
