    Does anyone know any specifics on this truck????

    Im assuming the 305 had an electric carb on it like the M4ME with dancing needles in the primaries. That system worked quiet well it closed loop to get the best MPG with careful driving, I had the same setup in my 84 Monti Carlo SS. I did transplant a 4L60 into it for the overdrive gear (much...

    Clutch size

    If you go to the 12" check you have the correct bellhouse to accomodate the bigger clutch. See the 4 to 8 o'clock position has the big step for the bigger clutch. These come in hydraulic or mechanical setup.

    Dont know if this will work with your setup, but I have used the 15530202 Bellhousing off the later SM465 with hydraulic clutch which is for a 12" clutch. I believe it fits the NV4500? looking at the trans mount holes Notice the bigger lower clutch disk area bulge for the 12", its basically...

    New Aussie square body owner

    Wz7u, Im doing a resto mod on my 76 C20. Its got a 454 and sm465 in it, and will have a 59 Apache stepside body on it. It started its life as a GM Holden RHD import from the US. So it always was a factory RHD, but manual steering, I just finished converting to power. That is a whole nother story.

    SM465 L-2-3-4, can't shift into 2nd unless completely stopped (solved)

    Look forward to the update. After I rebuilt mine all gears were easy to shift into, but that is with the engine not running as I havent got the engine running yet.

    SM465 to auto conversion or something else?

    @AuroraGirl. What I meant was, you may even use Low, if you got 3.21 rear gears. Mind you heavy as, also works! Lol

    Th350c lock up wiring

    Same wiring as on my old 84 Monte ss I used to have. I pulled out my 350c and stuck a 700r4 and that plugged straight in worked a treat, and got overdrive. I would definitely use a switch so you have control of the converter lock up. Also I would get power from the brake light switch ( if you...
