1986 M1009 Information needed

[greene1564]

I have a M1009 that has the 6.2 I have been told the tranny from a SBC would bolt right in place and I was wondering if other parts off a SBC would interchange like flywheel and other manual transmission parts.

check the faQ at the top of the page but as far as i know nothing from a SBC will bolt on a 6.2

The flywheels are different. Run a search in this section, I know its been asked before. While a fella could run a different tranny I believe the
Key difference is that trannys that come off of diiesels are vaccuum controled while other trannys are electronicly controled. Lotta crap to
Convert. You may wish to look for a 700r out of an old diesel van, burban, or pick up. Search 700r in this section (or whatever tranny u
Were gonna use, I was just assuming)

The 3 speed automatics (TH 400) are controlled with vacuum. The early model TH 700-R4, up to 1989 (I think) are controlled with a cable from the throttle linkage. The late model 700-R4, or 4L60E, is electronically controlled. Any Chevrolet transmission will bolt to the block, but almost everything else is different on the diesel. The 700-R4 is a good choice, with the correct flywheel and torque converter, and an aftermarket torque converter controller, to control converter lockup.
