It also means I wont write off the gearbox or transfer......LT230 will take the strain no problem!

My plan is to fit 1.1 transfer gears so I can get up to around 50 in 3rd as I think that should be possible with 3.54 diffs and the 35's
 
cos it wont fit gm gearbox.

however gm manual box that you looking at should have same splines as lt95...so that may come in handy somewhere..maybe..prehaps.
 
looks like bop..wont fit...

you gonna hone them bores?can see 2nd compression ring marks..new rings too??(while in bits)
 
gearbox defo gm.block bop

adapter plate off the shelf..you can buy over here
 
Block and bellhousing look similar, both are GM made after all


But the point is the box can take it and can be mated to an LT230!
