Re: 66 gmc c10 transmission swap to sm465

I would go with an original Cast Iron Bell. One with the larger 4-Speed hole in it. I'm not too familiar with the newer parts but does your Aluminum Bell have a bottom pan for easy access?

Re: 66 gmc c10 transmission swap to sm465

No, the aluminum one goes all the way around the flywheel and doesn't have the motor mount provisions.

I will see if I can find a cast iron version from a 68-72. If I can, hopefully my stock throwout arm will work with the sm465 throwout bearing. I think it will since those bellhousings came with sm465's.

I guess I should still make another crossmember the support the rear of the tranny. I will have three sets of mounting points for the drivetrain!

Any tips on where to find a high hump for a 66? Are they very common in wrecking yards?

Thanks,

Dan
