Longhorn, back on the "hydro" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

69 longhorn · 04-21-2005, 01:24 AM

well, the old 383 is takin a good beatin on the 65-6800 shifts on that 6 spd(thrust main). the crank isnt kissin the main webbing yet, & will be running a 400 Turbo(the best that GM did). The auto trannies are a little easier on the engines, & I look for 2 or 3 more seasons of pure he!!! with that 383. the 400 t was a rebuilt trans from a parts truck(driven to the scean of destruction!) it shouldnt work too bad with 3.40 geaRS on a 29" tall tire

im going mild on the next one, (just a good build on a 4 bolt 350).....square deck, tight quench, & good balance job. she will run the Edelbrock RPM top off the 383, with a smaller cam(sweet street)

I have a couple "bites" on the Richmond.......that booger was lots of fun, but i have been playing the game for too many yrs! I am pushing 50 real hard, & too d@mn tired to piss with worn out or broken parts......just give me a d@mn smooth ride @ say 140 with no busted parts.....too old to "rock & roll", but too Damn young to quit..........crazyL

What are you looking at getting for it? Kinda confused why you posted this in the Suspension section though...

Because we're all in suspense as to what he's going to sell the 6-speed for

LOL! im not sure why I posted here.....I thought I was in engine & drivetrain

ok, you guys can help......what is a 6spd box with 4,000 miles on it worth? 69L

Let's see . . ..... carry the one...... divide by the sum total...... add 2 decimal points.... I've got it..... $400* to me since I'm from Tx.

*That of course includes shipping

.

Seriously, hopefully you can get .50 on the dollar for it. What ratios/splines was it again?

69 longhorn · 04-21-2005, 11:30 PM

the trans is 1 1/8" x 26 spline input, with a 4.683 front bearing retainer(fits car bell, or 67 & older truck bell) . the ratios are 3.28 2.14 1.57 1.24 1 & .76 for overdrive. I was looking at (hoping for) around .75 on the dollar.....its like anything else tho, once you drive it around the block , the value drops

best I can do is run an add, & see how it goes
