It's about time!
Somebody had to do it sooner or later, it really is good news.
I want to see pix all the way through the install from bare bones to complete.


Cheers!

The 727 small block trans has the right bell housing pattern but an adapter flex-plate is needed (sold by a few companies out there). I was looking into this very swap but it is too wide for the earlier b-series vans. The big-block ones I'm happy to see it fits fine though! smile

THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS! smile lol
