SBC output shaft variations?
Post by binfordm715 on May 7, 2006, 9:40pm

I have a 465/205 combo that will someday get swapped in to the M715. I plan to keep my eye out for a SBC 350 donor vehicle eventually. No hurry. Just planning ahead is all.

I'm just wondering, if I were to come across a low-mileage Grandma-mobile, say a 1990 Caprice with the 5.7L, would the output shaft be the same length/spline-count as I would need for the 465, or would I just be inviting all sorts of trouble? Would it bolt right on, or should I just look for a truck with a 350-to-SM465 combo?
