5-speed transmission for 292 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Sequoyah · 08-22-2008, 01:58 PM

I just picked up another 292 for my 69 and will eventually put the 292 that's currently there into my 66 C-60. I guess I have a couple of questions about this...I searched and couldn't find any useful info.

1. Will the 4 speed (w/ granny gear) work behind the 292 in the 2-ton truck?

2. For the 292 that I'm going to rebuild and put in my 69 short/step...what is a good 5-speed transmission that will still be good for pulling loads and just to be used on a work truck?

I was going to leave the 4 speed in my 69, but bought the 2 ton a couple of months back and still want to use my 69 as a work truck, but would also like better gearing for the highway and road trips as my 66 will be the real work horse when I get it running.

Thanks,
Keith

1. Yes it will work if it was originally behind an I6 or a small block

2. NV4500, virtually indestructible. Very reliable 5 speed. Also richmondgear.com and http://www.ttcautomotive.com/ (Tremec)

The back of a 292 is the same as a small block Chevy. Any small block bolt up tranny will fit a 292/250.

Oh and you may have to get the 4-speed rebuilt to withstand the weight/gearing of the C-60.

I looked on the TTC website and couldn't find the exact model you were talking about, but I bet it's pricey. I should've included my budget for this in the first post. I'm thinking anywhere from $500-$1200 (price for the transmission, getting one re-built, etc).

Search Craigslist and eBay if you dont want to spend more than 1200. Also try local Pull-a-part.
