[lance]

Ok so as the title say's I been doing some research an can't find didly squat about it...googled, look up on other websites...no information...seen swaps for c10's an what not but not for our trucks.
So I figured I would just ask what I'm thinking lol...
I have a 1995 GMC rcsb with a 305 an a 5 speed (NV35000)
So my ? is has anyone put a TKO 500 in these trucks?

Ok I've done even more research looked on 67-72 truck forum, fullsizechevy forum, gmfs forum, google....
I've got a few leads pmed. a few people hoping to hear back from them I even contacted Keisler Automotive by email....
But from what I gather this shouldn't be to big of a head ache.
need to move crossmember
driveshaft
might be able to use the current clutch hydraulics....
but not all that sure yet....
When/ if I ever figure it out I'll post here to let you guy's know.

lol well then....I guess I'll move onto another company.....
I also sent American Powertrain an email also....
I also seen some where the tko 500 will bolt up to any bellhousing from any 4 speed manuals from G.M. for a 350...not sure if true ....

I got a hold of a fella on 67-72 forum that has done this swap here's what he used.
1.) 621 G.M. bellhousing.
2.) Wilwood 3/4 bore clutch master cylinder, mounted in the stock master cylinder location, and used stock clutch pedal rod.
3.) McLeod hydraulic throwout bearing. (he's thinks it was the 3000 series)
4.) Shorten driveshaft
5.) Move crossmember back.
6.) Crossover aka combination U-joint (tko yoke is a 1350 an stock chevy is a 1310 but he wasn't for sure on that)
7.) You can move the shifter location with a mid-shift option it might move the shifter location to stock hole in the hump.
and of course a tko500.....
