Round house- that's what my problem was that and I want that extra gear! I'll definitely look in to that! How much will that transmission cost me? So what bell house do I use? You have any pics of the set up?
we found the Trans on car-part.com
Search for 97-07 manual 4WD Silverado Trans
We paid $600 for the Trans
Pretty sure we used the same clutch as stock
Bell housing on the GM 3500 is made to the Trans and bolts to any small block Chevy
One bolt won't match up , no biggie as long as the rest are tight
You have to use a 32 spline NP -208 with the 6 bolt round bolt pattern from behind a TH-400
You don't use any intermediate housing
When you're searching for that , don't tell the seller how many splines you need , they will lie and tell you whatever you want to hear hoping you'll hand over the cash without counting the splines Yourself ,
And claim they thought you were talking about the exit splines on the output shaft for the driveshaft
ask the seller to count the splines and call you back
Easier thing is to find one from someone parting out a CUCV army pickup
They all had TH -400 /NP-208. And grab the cross member too
You'll need it and it bolts right in slightly further back , the front holes on the crossmember match up to the rear holes in the frame , so you just bolt that in and drill two new holes in the frame
But again , sellers either have no clue what they have or lie, I drove 2 hours to get a NP-208 from an army pickup , that was a NP-203
Silly me, I could have asked for him to text me a picture .
Converting your clutch pedal to use a hydraulic master cylinder is the hardest part
Just measure the travel in the new master cyl
remove the old rod and use a tape measure to find the location on the pedal that gives you that length travel
Unless you find a deal on a 87-91 hyd pedal setup. But most people want $300-350 for it
