I have a 1976 W100 4x4 with a 4 speed and a 360 engine . The W100 cab is rusted out , shot , too far gone .
I was thinking of putting the W100 360 and 4 speed in my 68 small block automatic Barracuda
Would the combo work coming from a 4x4 W100 ??
Any thoughts appreciated
 
No. The W100 likely has the NP435 and that won't fit in the A body transmission tunnel.
 
What trans is in the Cuda now? Maybe just mate that up to the 360?
 
The NP435 "just won't fit" in an A body. I can think of zero reason why you'd want it to anyway. Maybe doing a 4x4 conversion. lol
 
All I need to know and thanks
I have a 383 and trans for the 68 Cuda . Stick with original Plan
I was curious and now I Know
 
I will not fit, plus to actually use the trans, you would also have to use the transfer case.
 
The 360 will fit, of course, but, you'd need to get all the small block car parts to make it work. Pan, pickup, dip stick and tube, engine mounts, brackets, exhaust manifolds, transmission, etc.....
 
A 435 or 445 with a slip yoke? Never seen that setup. All the ones I've ever seen had a flanged output and 2 piece splined shaft. Do you have a photo of one with a slip yoke?

I could take one, I would have to crawl under my dads W150 he bought new, next time I go up to his pace. His is all stock 360/435/203.
 
Its alot of work but couldn't you swap the out put shaft and tail housing to the truck unit and then it would go in the a body...? In other words, the truck trans would work with an A body output shaft and tail housing ...

A bodies never came with a truck transmission so where would you find an output shaft and housing? The other thing is the 360 in the truck probably has the 11 in flywheel and bigger bellhousing than what the cars came with.
 
For any of y’all who are curious, here’s a 2 wheel drive/ divorced transfer case version I have I just dropped off to get rebuilt.
It would be totally useless in a car. It’s almost worthless in my ‘74 4x4 to a point where I’m lookin to move my transfer case & crossmember back, and remove the under bed fuel tank and place a fuel cell in the bed, to make room for a standard A833.

Yup, those are like the 2WD transmissions. They married them to the transfer case in '75. I actually liked the divorced setup better as they came stock with locking front locking hubs instead of the full time setup.

X2 a way better set up. I hate changing those full time wheel bearings.

Then send that big old sumbitch to me when you do. I'll give it a good home.
