T221/sm465 swap from T221/3sp

[67gmcstepside]

I have searched and found a lot of information around swaping in and out sm465's but most of the info had a 205 as the tc. Can I assume that a 465/221 combo will fit? I undersdtand the clutch changes, but as far as the TC back the existing drive shaftes and cross members should be reusable? I want to make sure I know what I am getting into. The 465 is already connected to the a 221 so the adapater most be correct. I hoping just to remove the 3sp and adapter and bolt in the 465 with its adapter. After rebuilding the 465 first
Thanks as always,
Don

I have a 68 short wheel base 4x4 and it has the factory 465/221 combo in it and if you have the right flywheel,clutch,and bell housing for the 465 you shouldn't have any problems. especially if you already have the 221 t-case with the cross member. from what i've found the 3 speed is the same in overall length.

Thank you very much for taking the time to post this info!

I found this for you,

it would depend on the flywheel size it looks like but if you get it there you get all the parts needed from the flywheel to the throw out bearing.
