First of all, your automatic \6 didn't come from the factory with a pilot bushing for the input shaft of a gearbox. Also, many of the automatics didn't have a hole long enough to accept the entire input shaft. The '68 D300 pictured behind me originally had the \6, and '68 was the last year for the 10-spline, hydraulic clutch in the 100 to 300 trucks. I believe you are using the hydraulic flywheel that has a stand off to clear the hydraulic bell housing that has both the \6 and 318 bolt patterns. If so, that bell probably won't work for your app. I would pull the other eng/trans that you have and see if that would be a better fit. The throw-out bearing for the hydraulic clutch is also a larger diameter, so actually, nothing from the hydraulic setup will swap over to mech clutch setup.
Thanks, I’m still getting information and parts to try and make this work but realistically I have to admit I probably won’t be able to use this engine with a manual transmission. It is always welcome and appreciated to have others comment and share their knowledge, thanks again.
Your not wrong, it’s like bringing an Atari to a PlayStation party but the Atari also made the PlayStation what it is because of it’s simplicity. So far I don’t think this engine will work for the NP435, I will need a slant 6 after 1967 and probably a slant from the 1980’s is best
3 freezer plugs as you Americans call them. Later 1966-67 on have 5
Here in Australia they do anyway 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
