This truck was originally a 67 292/3 speed short bed , Project creep lead it to 350 4 bolt with the M22 and a 3.73 posi with 29" tires 3.5/5" static drop and front disc conversion a rear mounted tank and all stainless lines with a wood bed . I swapped out the 6 manual trans cross member mount for the V8 cross member so the engine/ bell housing would be in the stock V8 position , Since I already had a few 67 bell housings that fit the Muncie 22 input it was a no brainer for a period shop truck build . I've done the math it all works .

Good info here. I too am in the process of trying to figure out how to convert a 67 Short box 250i 3spd over to a 355i / Muncie combo. One question I have is how different are the bell housings? Would I be able to use the bell housing and support position from the 250i set up?
