Re: Sm465 to t5 swap in 4wd gmc jimmy?
the Camaro swap wont be easy at all, the 2wd vehicles had different tailhousing, and buy tailhousing I mean the entire rear of the T5 is different if you get a 2wd T5 only half of that case is going to be usefull. I dont think there was ever a T5 put in any "strong" 4x4's, small blazers and jeeps had them but to my knowledge never a v8.
You have a full-size truck chassis rig, why not look into the more modern full size truck options? I would look at what 5-speed manuals the Silverado or Sierra's used and see if they could be a swap...
the tansmission used in later GM 4x4's (mid - late 90's) was I think the NV3500.
But yea, either way (with or without overdrive) a regear would be a beneficial 1st step...
