muncie 4 speed into 95

[chevyjack]

Have a 95 with 305 and 5 speed. Found a deal for a rebuilt 350 and Muncie 4 speed out of a corvette. What modifications to drive shaft, trans tunnel, ect would I need to make. its ext cab short bed?

Youd be going from hydraulic clutch to mechanical, you're not gonna have a good time.

With a ext cab truck and a tall Muncie first gear you're not likely to have a good time either.

Which Muncie is it?

Don't do it. Why anyone would want to lose overdrive on a street vehicle is beyond me. I've got a '88 with a four speed (SM465) and it sucks. 4.10's + 1.00:1 gearing = 3000rpm @ ~60mph

It would be M20. I already have a daily that I use. This one would be to just pull the boat, haul firewood

What's wrong with the engine and trans in the current truck? I personally wouldn't buy anything labeled as "rebuilt" unless it came from a credible place with paperwork to prove it. Could just be buying a timebomb. Just my two cents.
Also sounds like if you went with that engine & trans you'd be throwing away the nice turnkey EFI engine & hydraulic clutch set-up.

The engine is ok, tired 305. Trans grinds going 1-2, and 2-3, bad synchros

 

[Ironhead]

Nice transmission, nice truck, bad combination.

Hmm. What about going to a yard to pull an LO5 with a five speed attached to it? Would be a direct swap if you also swapped prom chips.

Going from a 3.3:1 first to a 2.5:1 first won't help with any of that.
