Yeah I'm not sure if he is wrong about the tranny being a torqueflite or if it is correct as it came off an RB Appollo Fire truck and it seems adaptors did exist to fit them to SBC motors. He just sent me some pics. Can anyone identify the tranny? IMG_0631 by shagedemus, on Flickr IMG_0630 by shagedemus, on Flickr and the motor he is selling IMG_0632 by shagedemus, on Flickr

It's got a Holley carb on it and some old performance dizzy, can't tell you what tranny. | | | Re: replacing gas 350 with diesel 350 | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 513 Likes: 55 addict | addict Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 513 Likes: 55 | Curious motor, may be quit old. If you can get the part # left side of dizzy bell housing flange and maybe RPO pass front top pad in front of the head. It's got rams horn exhaust manifolds, a local hot rodder would want them. | | | Re: replacing gas 350 with diesel 350 | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 2,027 Likes: 51 veteran | OP veteran Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 2,027 Likes: 51 | It's another gas SBC.

Bearings are toast getting the crank checked out at the moment. Bummer Shaggy, I had an alternator seize once, but the belt was slipping past the frozen pulley and still turning the WP. Turned around and limped back home. Good luck on the R&R of the well done SBC. RIP. And Good Wenching!

Nobody here sells new crate engines and importing something as heavy as this is expensive. A 454 will cost me the same as I paid for the van originally. I'm considering this one a few hours drive from me that comes with the above tranny, if I can sell the tranny on it will make it affordable, but I need to find out what tranny it is first.
Irishman tries to identify tranny...........sounds like a review of The Crying Game movie!

Found this, https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/60334/10002/-1Whatever that transmission in your picture is, it looks like that bellhousing has a very similar bolt pattern to this Jeg's bellhousing. Jeg's part is a SBC bolt pattern, to Chevy TH400, and Powerglide. IDK if a 350 is the same circular bolt pattern. Couldn't hurt to make a call if needed. But if using your SBC transmission and bell housing, a SBC block should/will bolt up to your existing transmission. Right? Good Wrenching Mate ! ! | | |
