Really a non factor John. All I need is the correct flex plate.
The input shaft for the manual trans is only a factor if I want to keep my current clutch set up, which I would.
Just found a 1980s rear axle from a C30 square body with 4.10 gears. That would lower my rpm from 5200 to 3200 at 70 mph. The 4L80E only gets me down to 3900.
If I want to keep my rear wheels with the new rear, I would have to have the axles drilled for my 5 lug pattern. Otherwise would have to get four 8 lug Chevy 17 x 6.5 dually wheels. They seem to be scarce; OR expensive.
Only about 100 miles from me. Calling the guy to see if he will measure for the wheel hub size and flange to flange width to see if it is worth messing with.
Anyone have any experience having axles drilled for new bolt pattern?
