tranny swap?? - 4/1/2008 9:26:24 AM    tx78k5blazer   Posts: 12 Joined: 3/11/2008 Status: offline ok... so i have a 78 Blazer 4WD 400CID engine with a TH350 trans... I have a buddy that has a Turbo 400 trans with stage 2 shift kit freshly rebuilt.... it is not for a 4WD truck tho... will it fit and what do i need to make it fit? or should i just look for a 350 trans?

GM made those trannies pretty universal. I just put an SM465 with an NP205 Transfer and it's the best combination i could imagine... _____________________________ 1973 K5 Blazer SB350 + 1405 Edelbrock SM465 + NP205 Inverted leaf springs on 4" blocks 38.5 Swampers (in reply to tx78k5blazer) Post #: 2
