the zf5 will fit in the truck you need one from a 460 truck, the 205 will bolt up...as will a high tourque starter which you'll need for that monster engine.. you'll also need a racing clutch or something similar... the crossmember needs to be moved/modified and you'll need to install a hydraulic clutch assembly of some kind...if your inguinuative you could rig up a mechanical system, i found the hydraulic easier... by the way the V8 ZF is supposed to be rated at 600hp breaking threase hold...

Thanks man I have a divorced 205 in it ie: Highboy chassis

That trans was out of a F350 460 2wd 1992, seems pretty tight. Soon as the snow stops & we can get her into the shop to install. Still need a set of valve springs & keepers.

Hyd. clutch is what I have in my 89 F250 I like it.

Very nice lookin truck If you plan on revin the 460, I would make sure you use 10 degree valve spring keepers instead of the 7 degee.as i have seen the 7s pull threw on a few high revers with good springs. Also very nice trail rig!!

um, is it possible to turn a 460 7,000 rpm more than once? never seen that one. saw a guy turn a 454 8000 once. literally. fresh build, about 6000 miles on it, revved the piss out of it and watched a rod say fck this im outta here. lol. it left a hole the size of the holland tunnel where it came out. recall on the tach said 8100 rpm.

The pullers run 8500 rpm's all day & all season long I do not know WTF you are thinking,...

Edit: OH I forgot you miss your Cheby & speak of 454's

I prefer to get Henry Steel Thanks, I would just go to if I wanted repop, they are close to us.

I found a decent rust free one on CL.

Thanks
