5spd swaps

Truck is my 78 long bed. Right now I have in a 700r and its not bad. Its behind a stock 350 with headers and a edelbrock 1406 might have an I.take soon. So maybe 300hp on a good day when the planets are lined up. I had a m21 in one of my trucks and it was great but I don't want linked shifter and I want the extra gear for overdrive.....

So who has done a 5spd swap?

What did you use? I can get my hands on a 10 spline t5... can I use that?

Hhow much $$ did you have invested?


My plans with my truck are simple. Slowly build it on a budget I just picked up a 12 bolt that I'm slowly building up and prepping to go in. And the same with another motor so its all a "in time thing" no rush just wanna make sure its not a setup that'll waste syncros in a most or smoke the clutch in a month but will hold up to a 300-400hp Abc and your typical driving with occasional Saturday night specials
