John, So what engine/transmission combo did you decide upon ? Ten spline mainshaft you say ? That fits the lerge hole model 18 TC that was originally mated to a Borg Warner T-14. |

was going 4.3 to a sm420 till I found out its a sm465 so now thats the way Im headed ![]() Ill get a few lighter and clearer picts added in tommorow so now I got to send my adapter back to novak to swap it out for a kit for the 465 now I need to do my homework on the 465 so I know what the gearing ratio In 1st is I know its not as low as the 420 but I hear good things about them |

The Synchromesh 465 in combination with the 4.3 will certainly provide you with a modernized power train. Plus you are bolting a GM to a GM product. This requires no transmision to engine adapter. The SM 465 is the more modern of the two and is a larger transmission than the SM 420. The SM 465 is HUGE ! One big plus is the SM 465 uses a much shorter transfer case adapter than the SM 420. True; the SM 420 has a killer low Ist gear ratio. The gear ratio span for either SM transmission is not the optimum if you plan to use this with a Warn O.D. unit. There are other transmissions having gear ratio spans that work better in combination with the 25% O.D. units. Just my opinion, Happy wrenching ! |
