4 speed question...

[gpasare]

Hello all...I just purchased a 1986 c-10 pickup short bed 2 wheel drive ,with A 305...and 4 speed manual on the floor ...,low gear 1,2,3,and reverse. from original owner...My qestion is...Can this be switched with a 5 speed or 6.. Or am I just waisting my time ....I have not seen another one like it...I checked    ebay and cregs list..and local...The only one I saw is tow truck trucks...Is this special order...The trans looks very big underneath.It has a very strong low gear,the trucks jups when I let go the clutch and is pretty quick...Thanks guys Any info would appreciate, very much on what should I mod first,or live it stock...gab

It is normal.  It is the SM465 trans.  You can switch it out, but what 5 or 6 speed are you talking about?

I was thinking about the vette trans ,maybe 6 speed....I have no clue,just that both are chevys, and bolt on should be the same to the motor....Ps is there anyone specializing in theese trucks on the east coast(N.Y) thanks

Using the Early Vette trans requires a different flywheel
keislerauto.com/ is putting together kits for conversions.
