converting a 3 speed to 4 speed? 71 chevy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can someone tell me what's involved in switching my 3 speed to a 4 speed? My questions are: Will a 4-speed (saginaw) go right in as same as the 3-speed, will the same bellhousing work, will the drive shaft need to be re-done, so on... I have a 71 Chevy long bed, 350 3 speed on the floor I think its a Saginaw. Used to be on the column. I used it mostly for driving to work and a little fun, not really racing. Any help? I see a few 4 speed Saginaw on E-Bay for sale... $200 to $500
