Re: Turbo 350 to sm465 ??

Yes, you need the high hump floor to clear the transmission, it's tall. On the later trucks the floor is stamped as one piece, my 86 C10 has a factory installed SM465 and the floor is one stamped piece.

As far as shifting, I do enjoy driving a manual even if it's a slow shifting truck transmission. Plus that low gear gets the load moving easily with the worn out 305 in front.

Soo, how difficult is rebuilding the SM465? I have an issue with popping out of 3rd gear often, and I'd like to get that fixed when I swap the engine out.
