Who did? 235 + Transmission 350, 700?

There is an idea. The site stovebolt I've seen an adapter for transmission. I have a '62 235 and the rear axle of the Chevy Blazer 4x4, who put together a 235 with 350 or 400r? what could be the problem? As will be running Chevy? What are the numbers used in the rear axle? Thank you friends.

 

There are a lot of different ratios they used in the rear diffs. We'll need to narrow this down some............................

 

I am running a T5 out of a S-10 truck behind my 235 in my 56 Chevy truck and it goes like a champ. It bolts to the bell housing, just needed a new pressure plate and clutch disk.

 

Yes, but the T5 is not an automatic transmission? Enough of the rotational speed of the crankshaft 235, for normal automatic transmission?

 

I put a 2004r in a 51 with a 235 and a early Camaro rear diff. Really pretty easy. Fab a mount have driveshaft built. If I remember you have to change flexplate and unless you mark it somehow you won't be able to set the timing with a light. Built it several years ago but he still has it so I can look.

 

losloo37 is putting a 235 hooked to a 350 trans in his '37 Chevy.

 

Thank you, who know there is a photo, and details the installation of transmission? Can I change the transmission to rear axle Chevy Blazer? What is the best? Where can I buy it?

 

what vehicle are you putting this in?

To use a TH350, 700-R4 or 200-4R behind a 235 you will need an adapter plate. Tom Langdon and about 4 other places sell these. They come with instructions. You will need to make sure that the centerline of the transmission is in line with the centerline of the crankshaft, otherwise you will get a vibration that will eventually break the flexplate.

The 4x4 S10 / Blazer rear axle came in several ratios. You can pull the cover off the back and there are numbers stamped on the ring gear that will indicate what the ratio is. Or just could the teeth and divide the ring gear by the pinion gear. A 3:42 or 3:73 ratio is the one to get for most applications is using a transmission with overdrive. 3:08 if you are not using an overdrive transmission. This ***umes a crusing speed of around 65mph and an engine rpm in the 2000-2200 range @ 65mph. Your tire diameter will factor into this also.

You will most likely need to have a driveshaft made, or if you can find one that has the right ends on it but is too long, you could have it shortened and rebalanced.

 

Snarl explained it as well as it can be explained in post #8.

It looks like a person would need to buy the adapter pretty soon though as they say they are phasing them out. http://stoveboltengineco.com/catalog/store/#ecwid:category=412400&mode=product&product=1396439
You would probably have too much of a power loss in the turbo 400 to want to run one of those and the case is quite a bit larger and longer.

Here is a link that shows the transmission gear ratios For Chevy/GM.

Contact: Bendtsen's speed gems 763-767-4480 or: bob@transmissionadapters.com He has kits avil to put any trans behind any motor ask for the owner Bob.

 

I did a 261/turbo 350 combo about 10 years ago in my dad's 51 Chev hardtop.
Camaro 10 bolt with high 2's for gears.
The only problem I ran into was starter alignment, otherwise everything was great.

 

Thank you my friends, is very interesting information, I think. I am glad that this will work. Driveshaft, I find it no problem. I can shorten it and balance. I do not understand what it is: "You will need to make sure that the centerline of the transmission is in line with the centerline of the crankshaft, otherwise you will get a vibration that will eventually break the flexplate"

 

What was the starter?

 

The kit requires a regular starter for a small block chev.
The starter was new in the box.

 

the input shaft of the transmission needs to be inline with the engine crankshaft. Just bolting everything together without verifying the alignment may cause problems.
