Will a sm465/np 208 from a 85 blazer bolt into a 77 k10 that had a sm 465 in it ? I wanted to know if the linkage is the same as with the transfer case cross member, if it would be just a straight bolt in or not. I searched but could not find an answer here, thanks in advance. Tom

My guess is that the crossmember location, driveshaft lengths, and t-case shifter would be different, but not sure. Do you have the t-case shifter and the driveshafts from the np208 truck? Probably simple to do, but probably not a straight bolt in...

The 85 is complete, since the 77 got it all stolen I will have to get the shifters and mounts also.

The '85 should have a hydraulic clutch linkage the '77 is mechnical. It can be converted to hydraulic but would require some modifications. I guess it depends what parts you have. Do you have the linkage for the '77?
-
If the 85 is complete, you should have most everything you need for the swap. As near as I know, to keep the mechanical clutch setup you would just need to swap the front clutch housing/bell housing portion on the trans with a mechanical bellcrank style one. Hydraulic would be a good upgrade though if you have all the parts.

They took the fly wheel, bell housing, trans and trsnfr case, and all the linkage, so I will have to check into going hydraulic as an upgrade or find something else. Thanks for the answer's.
