What years/models; Chevy V8 w/manual tranny?
Howdy, Toyota guy here looking for a chevy engine swap. I am planning on the good ol' chevy V8, ( most likely the 5.7L), probably the TBI. I hope to get the engine and tranny out of a running vehicle which should make smog (CA) a little easier too.
CA smog make it a bit trickier, as I understand it DMV says, besides the ol' same year or newer, (my 4runner is an 84), it has to have the same tranny too, (that was avaliable that year), and has to be from a 'truck' not a car! My question is this;
1). What is the year range for the TBI? Or what are the year/model of any Chevy (from 84+) with any V8, (preferably the 350 though), mated to a manual, (SM465?) tranny that I could hopefully grab an eng/tranny combo out of??
2). What are choices of manual trannies in chevy trucks that were avaliable from 84 and up, I know of the SM 465 but was there anything else before the NV4500? Or was the NV4500 ever mated to a TBI eng?
Thanks
Jeff
