OldSub Cruising in the Passing Lane O Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Seattle, Washington	I have an SM420 behind a GMC 270 running 3.08 gears. I find the combination very drivable just the way it is. You mention a Saginaw conversion kit from Patrick's. I think you only need that if you are converting from a closed driveline, and your '62 should be an open driveline. 1955 1st GMC Suburban \| 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project \| 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic \| 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE \| and more... It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
