Re: Ratchet's Blazer - 1970 2wd with Original paint
The 465 is no race at tranny but it is still fun to drive. Even with highway gears you should still have enough power to have fun around town with it. The state to state throw between gears is the toughest part of the Tranny. But you will never worry about breaking it. I’ve broke the coupler and the input shaft on my transfer case but never the 465. It does need a front input bearing now though. But I’m guessing it’s never been rebuilt in the 46 years of service.
