Tranny question? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 350 with a 3-speed on the tree. I really want to swap it out for a turbo 350 with a np205. What should I expect to pay for this set-up? any advice or help would be awesome.

Thanks, Chuck

depends on what the going rate is in your area, here a 350 w/ 205 attached can be had for under $500, and that's ready to bolt in. Less if they need rebuilding. You'll need to swap out the steering columns, also the automatics have a couple switches in the steering column near the firewall that will/should be dealt with (neutral safety and back-up lights). Need to make sure you get the brackets for the linkeage. As I understand the cross member is the same between the autos and 4 spds not sure about the 3 spds.

Yeah, JIMs70GMC-has good advice. Make sure you hook up the switches in the steering column though. As for if it will line up with the 3 spd or not I have no idea.
