Re: Finally caught a break NP440 / MY 6
Gimmy maybe in hindsight I should have. I kinda liked the "old school" aspect of this tranny.
As far as the bell housing, this tranny bolted right up. Mine has the mounts on the bellhousing and quite honestly, I wasn't all that excited about cutting the existing crossmember as it had one of the brake lines attached to it. Plus, I would have had to move the clutch to the drivers side, cut the hydraulic clutch hose down, weld in a new crossmember, rebleed all the brakes and the clutch.
Maybe I m just getting old.
Got the tranny mounted on the bell housing and into the truck. It was really easy...one person job even.
Message me on the rods if you need them. I have two complete sets and owe the forum a favor...
Rich, the bell housing you see in the picture above is the one I had in the truck already. It was bolted up to the original SM 420 Granny Tranny. It's the same bolt pattern that all the Muncies used. I have the "horseshoe" motor mount on the front of a sbc 350.
Old school...old school sound with about 350 hp!!!
