Re: 1965 gmc best tranny mate to 350
I'm sure I speak for most of our fellow forum members when I say that I'm glad you're not pulling a V6 to install a Chevy engine. Maybe someone here on the forum who lives not too far from you has a spare V6 they'd part with. Or maybe you can replace that 350 someday with a V6 if you continue looking for one.

I would prefer the V6. Anybody have one near Milwaukee WI?

Re: 1965 gmc best tranny mate to 350
That 401M out of the 69 7500 series truck appears to have a 4bbl carb, could it be that rare dealer installed option?

Re: 1965 gmc best tranny mate to 350
Anybody have an opinion on how the 305 v6 with the 4 speed tranny would do pulling a small camper and would it be screaming at 65 mph?

Re: 1965 gmc best tranny mate to 350
A 305 would have no trouble pulling a small camper. Whether or not it would be "screaming" at 65 would be totally dependent on rear end ratio and tire diameter, both of which can be changed to suit your needs.

My current truck I scratched around and figured gearing for months before I finally ordered it. After wearing out two F-150s that had too many low gears and not enough of a high gear I wanted something that would crawl and fly. The 5-speed ZF manual is considered a close ratio but I think it's pretty wide ratio actually. In high side of T-case I can idle at 600 rpm at about 3-4 mph in low gear, and can accelerate up to 2500 rpm in 4th to almost 65 mph and cruise at 67 mph at 2000 rpm in 5th. 3.55 axle gears and 32-33 inch tires. It's a 7.3L PSD, and I averaged about 19 mpg the first 240,000 miles before I semi-retired it to just towing & hauling, no commuting empty to/from work. The drive train would work great with a 401 V-6 providing the motivation. |
