BII 302 Tranny Questions
Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2011 1:17 pm
Before people give me grief I searched.. its all just so confusing lol
I have a BII w/302 and a M50D mated to a BW1356 now this thing is WAY to long and wide... I want to install a shorter manual tranny as simply as possible so any suggestions would be great
I was thinking the NP435 mated to a NP205 from what I can figure those came in 1975 to 1982 F-series correct? do I need to swap my flywheel? will a flywheel from a donor vehicle always work?(like if I had an entire F-series truck w the NP435/205 do I just use the flywheel on the truck?) whats the shortest bell housing available? also if the donor vehicle ends up being a 6cyl would a flywheel from a 6cyl work on the 302?
Oh and whats easiest way to deal with clutch? currently on the M50D i used the stock BII master and used a compression fitting to splice the Hydrolic lines together
I know lots of questions and I have just spent the last 5hours reading stuff and am still confused... also availability of parts/price is a factor the np435 seems readily available what other t-cases mate directly/easily?
