Just read in the 73-87 board that I guy put one of these trannies in an 80s truck. I know that the trans and bell will bolt up, but didn't know that the t-case would bolt up. Buddy has a junkyard with a bunch of these, but not sure if these will hold up to a 400. The motor is all stock, if I do anything to it, will be mild cam, intake, headers, and maybe TBI. This is for a d/d, not a wheeler. And it's for my 62 burban. Just remembered that the burb has 3.08s in it, would make for killer land speed records, but I am NOT gonna swap axles again, of which I'm getting real tired of doing......

Would a Getrag hold w/400 SBC??

I had one in my 93 K1500 with a 305 and 3.42's. I drove that rig hard and blew the 10 bolt rear (with 285's) and would knock the front end out of alignment at will, but I never had any issues with the tranny. With a mild 400 in a DD I think you'll be ok. The trans should bolt to any 208 or 241 I would imagine.
You will have no problems with that setup.
Hmm, got me thinking again. Might have to check on this some more. Want to go TBI someday, now would be the time to do it I guess. Thanks for the info.
