Manual Transmission Options?

GUys,

I think I am going 700R4, but I would like to explore transmission options. The truck has the intermediate bell housing rear engine mount, normal clutch setup...Is my only option the T5 chevy S-10? Are these very stong? DOnt I have to punch a new hole in my floorboard for shift tower, since the tower is further back? Are there any threads on this topic? Are there any 4-speeds I should look at, besides the origional granny low version?

Lots of options, depending on how much work you want to do. If I was gonna change out my SM 465 (and I'm not) I would go with a modern 6-speed - but you have to fabricate for the hydraulic clutch and electronic speedo. Do a search, there's a lot of info on this.

There was a thread on here a while back where the guy used an adapter on his t56 (six speed) that allowed use of the stock bell housing, flywheel, and fork, but he had to change out the clutch disk because of the different spline count. The speedo still has to be sorted out though. I'll see if I can find it.

The t-5 is the easiest swap. They are not real strong but if you don't abuse them they will stand up. I run one in my 58 with a 350 & it works great. You do have to make a new hole in the floor.

Here is a thread where I posted about the ax15 5 speed trans.

If you get a trans with the electric speedometer here is a solution for that:
