sm465

can anyone tell me anything about the code on the sm465 3901131(yr, output spline, etc)?

Sorry, its out of an 85 one ton truck.. Some one is selling it and I have a 71 blazer that has a th350 w/ np205 but wanting to swap to a manual to hook up to my np205...

that should be a 10 spline output shaft

im not sure if the th350 had the same adapter bolt pattern for the adapter as the manual trans but if so or not, you'll need the 8 bolt "race track" pattern adapter and change your coupler. The th350 is a 27 spline, you need a coupler with a 10 spline for the 465.

I like manuals and applaud your swap, however; i believe that if you are looking to make such a swap the NV4500 is well worth a look especially since I view the automatic to manual swap a fairly work intensive conversion.

Regardless, good luck with your project!

Thanks, I was gonna order the adapter from offroaddesign.com for the swap and hopefully the coupler.. I'm trying to do a same length swap so I don't have to cut driveshafts. I would like to put an nv4500 behind it but not in my budget right at the moment.. Thanks for the swap compliment!

Find the adapter at a junk yard and save a bunch of money. They are very common. Buy the coupler from ORD tho.

found another guy selling in my area an 85 sm465 with an np208 attached. Would this hook up to my np205 off my 71 blazer?

That's a $250-400 combo. Personally, I wouldn't be afraid to run the 208 in a basic street rig. The 205 is tougher and will bolt up to the adapter but you'll need to change the coupler and probably remeasure for driveshafts. I think a new coupler can be had from ORD for about $100?? I would do some measuring and see which combo fits best with the drive shafts. Have you found a 3rd pedal set up? What about clutch linkage?
