I have a 1946 cehvy coe and I want to keep the stock trans and install the v8. Is it possible to keep the stock trans? Its equiped with the pto for the lift bed and I dont want to lose this. I also observed that late 80's GM used the HM-117 (MUNCIE) for bus and straight truck but I dont know if pto is possible for this trans.Trying not to use adapter plates for trans to bellhousing witch is what Im guessing will have to happen. Fabrication is not a problem but Im trying to keep the rest of the truck as OE as possible except for the enging for more power and work.
All you big truck masters please help me on this Im new to the big trucks but have a big passion for them.
