    Dan from Brewer's got back to me today, right at 1k for everything I'll need. The bellhousing and a couple other items aren't in stock, so the waiting game starts. I love the one stop shopping Brewer's offers though. Thanks again for the advice.

    I've been seeing these aluminum adapter plates for sale but they are all discontinued, so that makes me leery.

    Yep, i want to keep the manual transmission but the slant six bell housing won't bolt up to my 408 (360LA). Just wondering if bell housings were interchangeable for LAs

    Bought another truck, pretty solid this time, 1980 D150 short box. Has a 3spd manual on the floor with a slant six. Can the 3spd bell housing be swapped so it will bolt to my 360LA block?

    I'll probably have to run a small stall converter, haven't formulated the size yet. Definitely going to find a rear end with the factory 3.92 rear gears. I think the 98-99 came factory with those gears.

    Great info, thanks! I can fab my own mounts and brackets when needed. I was going to go with the 727 i picked up, i think the 4x4 transmission is completely different than a regular 2wd transmission, but not totally sure.
