Thread: Preparing for a small block swap

  1. #1

    Exclamation Preparing for a small block swap

    I finally got a great running 350 from a 1985 C20 for my 67 M715 and I have a few questions. Would anybody recommend a cam or bigger carb? Where can I buy mounts? Where can I buy a bellhousing, clutch and pressure plate? How much work would it be to retrofit the brake booster from the C20 to the M715 and where can I buy new seals for my T98 trans and transfer case?

    Advance adapters makes a kit here:

    Probably the easiest brake booster to move would be from a J-truck or Wagoneer (full-size)

    Check with ABLinn, Memphis equipment, or VPW for gaskets.

    Cam and carb will really depend on what you're using it for, but personally, I'd go with an RV or towing type of cam with good low to mid range torque, especially with stock gears. As far as a carb, I'd go with fuel injection in my opinion.

    There's a trans adapter on the for sale board right now. This goes between the T-98 and a Chevrolet bell housing which is available in most any salvage yard or e-bay
