Seen it and googled a bit too you may have found a winner if it comes with bellhousing!

If not theres another bellhousing on ebay that could possibly fit

Thor1950 · Nov 24, 2013

Well its a GM gearbox from a medium duty truck so it'll be a GM bellhousing

Be careful that could be from a small block. Only chance would be from a 454,
all pick ups were small block family. what truck lets see the add

with that you will never need low range 4x4. and drive it like a 3 speed as 1st will only get you 3-4mph and you are red lined

It also means I wont write off the gearbox or transfer......LT230 will take the strain no problem!

My plan is to fit 1.1 transfer gears so I can get up to around 50 in 3rd as I think that should be possible with 3.54 diffs and the 35's

what bellhousing pattern you 429 got?

Dr_evil · Nov 24, 2013

Hydromatic pattern kinda pointy haha

Second pic shows it but I think all bellhousings are pretty close! If not local gearbox guru can mod the bellhousing for me

zen · Nov 24, 2013

cos it wont fit gm gearbox.

however gm manual box that you looking at should have same splines as lt95...so that may come in handy somewhere..maybe..prehaps.

zen · Nov 24, 2013

looks like bop..wont fit...

you gonna hone them bores?can see 2nd compression ring marks..new rings too??(while in bits)

zen · Nov 24, 2013

gearbox defo gm.block bop

adapter plate off the shelf..you can buy over here

Dr_evil · Nov 24, 2013

Block and bellhousing look similar, both are GM made after all

But the point is the box can take it and can be mated to an LT230!
