Looking to transplant complete chevy 1/2 ton 4wd 350 throttle body/5 speed manual/with transfer case, into a 715 which has a winch..
will convert all to 12v
Or is it easier getting Novak parts and using existing trans/transfer
we have a complete machine shop/lifts,etc, just lookin for advice/direction
Welcome. Kingston in upstate NY?
You are probably better off swapping everything (engine/trans/tc). I'm assuming your 5 speed transmission has an OD 5th gear, which will greatly help you.
yes/ upstate by woodstock ny...Im waiting to see if anyone actually attempted this..715 is still all together not torn apart as im finishing a 151, just got seat belts left, then that rolls to the auto storage garage we have..with the rest..
I go by quite often. A friend has a cabin near Margaretville.
If you search this site, you will find tons and tons of SBC swap threads.
I'm assuming that you are talking about using a attached transfer case like a NP208 or later? If so you may have a problem with the need for a PTO for the winch. If you are using one with a NP205 then you shouldn't have any problem with the PTO. But yes swap the engine, trans and transfer case is better than adapting to the stock transmission. It should be a fairly straight forward swap. Just may have to make new or relocate the transmission mount.
