3 speed adapter plate?
hello. im kinda new here and was wondering if someone can help me out? i'm wondering if anybody here has done an LS swap on there c-10, but used the original 3-speed manual tranny. is there anyone who is making an adapter plate to bolt it up to an LS?

Re: 3 speed adapter plate?
My guess would be you would need to run a hydraulic clutch setup instead of the mechanical one.. I would imagine since we take the manual tranny from those engines and put them behind a 350, that the 3 speed should go behind the LS.
Just a guess though.

Re: 3 speed adapter plate?
The original three speed will never take the torque that an LS puts out.
I have split gears in half with a strong 283. |

Re: 3 speed adapter plate?
I think there is the correct bell housing for doing this in the 67 to 72 for sale section.
