Trany swap?

[NoReGrEtS]

I have a 81 k5 with 33000 1,2,3 hundred thou dont know it was given to me ya free, cant beat that, but it has 465 trany it needs a cluch but is it worth keeping? Im sure I can find a turbo 350 for almost as much as a cluch but what would it take to swap them out?and is it worth the change?I want to drive it drive it on trips and off round the piss out of it. I want to lift it 6in every one tells me to do 4in any problems between the two? I want 35s. what would you guys recamend?


Thanks

sm465is very nearly indestructible doing almost anything

Its worth keeping and a new clutch

it depends on what you want to do. if your crawling or mudding go auto but dont use a 350 use a 400 it's much stronger. to do the swap you need a flywheel, cooler lines, and a cooler, and i think you'll need a throttle pressure cable setup. the benefits of automatic vs std are you don't have to shift but like the other guy said the std is almost unditructible. but do what ever you want. i cant help it i'm biased toward automatics.
