Tranny swap

Found a decent-looking Saginaw 4-speed on ebay that I plan to rebuild and hook up to my 400 SBC. Right now I'm running a somewhat tired TH350 and I'm in the mood to start shifting gears again. Any thoughts on clutch combo, bellhousing, etc., greatly appreciated.

You might want to rethink that buy!
If you plan on babying that tranny then it might last awhile. Any sort of abuse and it’ll grenade.

Re: Tranny swap

The SBC has a mild cam, but the truck (it's a '56 stepside on a mid-70s chassis) is a driver. Not planning to do any serious dragging! I'd love to put in a Muncie, but they're steep. Figured I'd go for the Saginaw and do a good rebuild.
