Good deal. I have heard of some 70's truck motors that have the six pack rods and crank. I don't know if there is any truth to it? I guess I will find out on teardown. As far as the trans goes, should I just scrap it or one of the other posts said he changed out the tail shaft and housing and used the trans. What are the last three on the six pack rods so I can check them. I am not concerned with stall speeds. Not after performance. Just want a nice reliable drivetrain.



You can swap the mainshaft and the tail off a smallblock car trans and throw a shift kit in it and be good to go , go thru it while it's apart. Buy a Hi stall factory refurbed convertor from Dayco , they are about 75 plus your core .
