You know, Muncies are plentiful and cheap, you could easily stick a 4-speed on the back of that motor. Just an idea.
What's the 265 out of that you want to transplant?

If you swap transmissions, you're going to have to replace most of the driveline, as your truck should have the torque tube rearend, unless someone else has already replaced it. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 37 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 37 | I gave you this info awhile back in the engine and driveline forum. and dind't get a response from you web page . Maybe you didn't see it. I hope it will help you. | | |
