Hi I'm new to the site & hope somebody out there can help me. I have a 1986 Chevy Scottsdale 3/4 ton RWD pickup that I paid $400. for, shortly there after the 700R4 tranny went out. I figured why not put in a manual so I got a Muncie sm465 out of a '77 C20 in the wrecking yard including the clutch linkage. The local Aamco advised me to get flywheel & clutch for the year of the tranny but flywheel didn't match up & Auto Zone advised me to go with year of my motor (which is a 305) this matched up but leaves me with a problem. I noticed that the '86 came with a hydraulic clutch and I wanted to know if I can get away with using the linkage from the '77 since I already have it & am running low on funds for this build. I would really appreciate any answer's or suggestions on this since I've never attempted this changeover before.
