Mike Brichta Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 My neighbor is going to junk his 72 Chevy dump truck which has a 366 cu in BB engine in it. I'm not sure which trans is in it, but would it be worth checking out for my monte? Is a truck trans the same as a car trans? Is it better or worse? Worth pulling for a rebuild? What are the pros and cons? Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 most likley your talking about a version of the 465 "Granny" low 4 speed truck tranny . behind that 366 it's probly got a 14" clutch with an input shaft about an 1 3/4' in diameter. that large clutch is normally hydraulic operated and has an adapter to fit it on the back of the engine. it could be used in a P/U but would need the input shaft replaced with P/U size shaft . surely wouldnt want it in a car . probly weighs near 200lbs. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brichta Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 That's kind of what I thought. I just didn't want to have to kick myself later for letting something good go to the scrap yard. Thanks for your help. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
