can someone give me a comprehensive list of what i would need...

[colbystephens]

if i were to swap to a 465 in place of my 700r4 which is behind a 6.2 diesel, what are all of the parts i would need to round up? this is my dd, so it can't be down too long and my 700 is shot. i'm not familiar w/ trannies, particularly manual trannies, so i'm not familiar w/ all the parts i would need. anyway, thanks!

if its your dd i wouldnt swap a 465 behind the 6.2. reason being is the 465 shift spread and 6.2 rpm range arent the most compatible. Also with no od and a 6.2, and what i imagine are 4.10's youd be screaming on the higway. with a 6.2 you should be shooting for about 2000 roms at cruise speed.

personally id go for a bowties overdrives 700r4. Great comapny with quality products. pricey though

Now all that being said im a huge fan of the 465. i have one in my project truck and would not hesitate to put one behind a 6.2, just not with low gears and it being a dd.

what you would need is:
tranny/ tcase
drive lines (either reworked or new ones/ come from a k5 with same setup)
clutch
flywheel,
clutch pedal (maybe brake or you can cut your pedal. You dont need the whole brake assembly, you can just run a longer bolt)
bellhousing (mechanical or hydraulic)
Mechanical linkage
or
hydraulic setup
slave cylinder, master cylinder, hose resivoir

what do you mean by "screaming"? what is the gear ratio of the 4th gear?

 

[79k20350]

1:1

 

[79k20350]

what are you gear ratios in the axles? and what size tires you running?

 

[colbystephens]

4.10 w/ 35's

 

[79k20350]

If your tires are a true 35" (which i doubght they are, prolly more like 33-34") youd be at 2800 rpms at 70mph. Its not too bad but defiently not ideal for a 6.2 remember the redline is only mid 3000's. id try to keep it from 2000-2250 rpms at your cruise speed.

 

[colbystephens]

i only drive 60 for the fuel economy - what's that put my rpms at?

 

[79k20350]

2360

Honestly id go with a 700r4, and drive 65. get the motro in the sweet spot and the transmisson will last a lil longer, you wont strain the od as much.

why not swap in the NV4500? that is just like the SM465 but with a 5th gear overdrive.

umm yeah...got 1500 for a tranny then everything else hed need...not to mention finding one...

 

[colbystephens]

yeah, that's a little beyond me right now.

A 465 isn't all that bad even behind a 6.2 trustyK5 can vouch more for this....Forget about another slushbox and do it right this time go 465
You need tranny-and applicable t-case, a hole in the tranny hump, pedals (manual or hydro) --go hydro and kiss the other headaches goodbye-- flywheel and a clutch set, later on convert the column

 

[colbystephens]

out of curiosity - is a flywheel for the diesel different from the flywheel for the gasser? no one seems to have given me a definite answer on this yet.

yes the diesel has a specific flywheel

And hes building a 4500 to make it mroe streetable. although he does daily drive it now. It will costmore money to go 465 now though, i almost gaurantee it. unless you come across a great deal. the little things add up.

I think it'll be 6 of one, half dozen of the other as far as cost goes initially. 465/205 is a $250 combo tops. However, going hydro clutch right away would be best which is going to drive the cost up a bit. A hydro set-up is gonna run another $150 or so and then there is the master and slave which should be new for peace of mind.

Flywheel, clutch and pressure plate will run another $500 (high side, but probably a good number for budgeting)

Drivelines will need lengthening and shortening, probably another $250.

My 6.2 hums along at ~2600 rpm on the highway and still returns 16.5 mpg on bias TSL's. 2350 on radials is going to be decent enough IMO.

Frankly I'd donate my 465/205 to the cause including bellhousing, but firstly i still need it until late July and secondly it's a mechanical clutch bell. Hell, I'd throw in my driveshafts too, although the rear one does need balancing.

why not just rebuild the 700? i rebuilt mine for around 500 or so, including a reman converter, shift kit and deep trans pan. (already had aux trans cooler) add a couple of hours labor to that to have it rebuilt if you dont have the know-how. would also be cheaper to bring it to somebody, rather than the whole truck. r&r the thing yourselff to save some cash.

 

[colbystephens]

if only my tranny would last until july - i'd drive up and get it from you.
