Have a 62 one ton with the 305e.I would like to get more speed and power then it can give me I currently pull an 8000 lb skidsteer with it and it just doesn't do it in Montana.Is there some one who makes the conversion to put a small block and a newer 5 speed transmission in it.I also have a dump box on it so the transmission would have to be capable of this also.Have a 4:10 rear axle so a 5 speed would work pretty good. :rolleyes:

Welcome to the bolt, stinky. I agree, the 305 isn't enough engine for what you're doing. If you want to stick with the GMC V-6, get a 351. It's a lot better engine. Will give you a lot of bottom end. For speed you will have to do something with the gearing. Your 4.10's are the best you can do with the 10 bolt rear. The swap for a newer 14 bolt isn't too bad, usually requires welding on new perches. But you can get 3.73gears, possibly even 3.42.

another option on gears is to install a spicer auxilliary tranny, which can get you an overdrive. The Clark 5 speed is another option, if you can find one with overdrive and afford it.

If you haven't already, go to Jolly's website www.6066gmcguy.org and look around. Quite a bit of info on this series of trucks.

chevy dutry and no limit engineering sell v-8 and trans crossmembers and mounts as do many other aftermarket companies. will take some fabricating but is easily doable if you are handy with tools
