| Need info- 5 speed truck trans behind FE block |
| By Chris Rinehart - 08/19/2002 5:10:41 PM; IP 128.61.141.155 |
Hi, I have a '65 F250 truck with a huge 4 speed granny-gear truck trans (not sure of model). Engine is a '69 390. I am looking at the NV4500 GM/Dodge trans and the ZF S5-42 Ford trans in consideration for an overdrive conversion.
It appears the ZF only comes with an integral bellhousing that will not fit without an adapter, made only for small blocks or 429+ BB. Anybody know otherwise or of any adapter out there?
The NV4500 has a separate bellhousing and can surely fit with the right bellhousing- is there a bellhousing available for this? Can the stock clutch be used and if not, what is needed?
I'm open to other suggestions for overdrive solutions too. I know car transmissions such as those from Tremec can be adapted, but I need a heavier duty truck trans.
I'm not too concerned about the crossmember, I'll deal with that later- unless some has info on available adapter versions, etc. But any bellhousing/adapter info anyone has is much appreciated. thanks,
Chris |
