Help Identifing?

Well I am wondering what I might have here. I got this with the front clip that I purchased. The guy who I bought it from said that he thought that it came out of the truck but wasnt sure. The motor is a 350 just like the badge said on the fenders. So what are my options? What could this be? How do I identify it?
Thanks [/IMG]

Great, thats what I thought too. I was really hoping that I got a transmission with the deal, lol. Thanks guys Ill check the sites.

Saginaw 4 speed

well it looks like I have a Saginaw. Is this a good transmission? It says 4 speed on the site, like automatic? or manual on the tree? If it is a manual on the tree is there a way to convert it to floor shift?

good tranny

I used to run Saginaw 3 speeds in my Hobby Stock. I believe the 4 speed is just as good. The only problem I ever had with them was when the driveshaft would snap...that usually broke the cast ears off. You can make your own little plates and linkage and hook 'em right up to lightning rod shifters (which is what I did), or buy a single post aftermarket shifter to hook up to. Be sure to drain the oil, take the cover off, inspect the gears, replace cover-use Right Stuff or other silicone for a gasket, then replace with fresh oil.

4 speed manual. It should have a shifter mounting pad for a floor shifter on the drivers side of the tailshaft.

looks like a saginaw 3 to me

Need more picture, numbers, etc to be sure.

Ill take a few more tomorrow and get the #'s off of it. Thanks

I think it is a Saginaw 3 speed. I don't see a third shaft.

Here it is from all angles. Im not too sure what set of # I should be looking for, there are a few of the Gm-#'s on it. So I have to ask which ones would identify?

Pretty sure that's a Saginaw 3 speed. What's that white stuff?

Trans???

Hey, It`s definatly a 3 speed full syncro saginaw. I have a few of those. One is out of a 84 G Van with a long floor shifter on it. "B"

ya dmw 56 Im sure you dont see a lot of it down your way. Thats what we call winter up here in Michigan. We got about 6 more inches of snow today.

ok so now for the dumb question? Where does the shifter hook up?

if it was a tree shifter theres no place for a floor shifter to mount,, but you buy a shifter to fit it,, it will come with all the hardware in the kit,, it will both on the trans you have to take a few housing bolts out , put the mounts on , with the bolts you took out, pretty simple,, then adjust the shifter which will be the hardest part but it should come with an the cartoons and instructions!! most local parts stores sell them,, we call them alabama chevy truck replacement floor shifter,, cuz everyone with a chevy truck 3 on the tree here replaces them RTD
