finally bought an m715

The 420 or 465 are good trans, but I wanted the OD gear so I found one of the trans and the adapters needed. There is a good chance that the specific adapters needed came on the 427td. I will have to post pics when I get home as I can't access them at work(firewall). All 3 trannys have been in BIG trucks and should live fine in the 7. Just in case you were wondering, the deuce trans is basicly bolt in with the right bell.

what trans are you plannin on using?

I have a TH400 automatic installed in mine now. I just like my automatics. It went in nicely and the only thing I had to really deal with was making a bracket for the transfer case shifters and e brake lever.

Works like a dream though!

I don't have a bellhousing or flywheel yet. Could you tell me what bellhousing clutch and flywheel I need to work with the deuce trans and the 427TD? The more I think about it the I like your idea of the od specially with the stock gearing in the axles. Any one have a deuce od trans, bellhousing for sale?

This article was published based on info from a former member here, Tom(spicergear). This is basicly what you will be doing.

If the link wasn't enough, This is the bell you need.



This is what the Larger bellhousing adapter looks like.



This is all the crap sitting on the floor!

Hmmmm, if I ever go manual....

Be ready for sticker shock when you go to get the throw out bearing and the pilot bearing. I think the best Pistolnut or myself have found so far for his swap is $125 for both. Unless somebody knows of a source in the reasonable $50 total range?

Any medium duty stuff costs, especially old medium duty parts.
