PRICE DROP - $300 THIS WEEK (By Saturday June 20th) if picked up in Raleigh NC area.

Going to H55 in my rig while she's torn down, so selling my current setup. This is a custom plate adapter mated to a used SM465 that is in vgc. Tcase was fully rebuilt and has less than 3k miles on it. It uses the '74 transition gear and 3speed gears for a little more crawl. With 4.11's and 35's, I felt this was a very good setup. With 4.11's you are looking at 62:1

This adapter is one-off, and uses recessed pockets that hold bolt heads in place so you never have to worry about stripping a stud out. Plus, we clocked it up as high as it would go and the whole setup only hangs about 1" below the frame rails. Full setup - SM465/adapter/tcase/clutch/pressure plate/shifters/new pilot bearing/TO bearing/bellhousing $450. Don't haggle with me on the price and I'll throw in the beefy skid plate. May need to redrill the mounting holes as I found out my frame was tweaked before it was fitted to the cruiser. Pictures below in thread.

Also forgot to mention this price includes the 11" Chevy clutch setup (pressure plate, pilot bearing, t/o bearing, clutch alignment tool, clutch disc) as well as the bell housing if you need it. The bell housing threads are stripped, so I used gr8 bolts and nuts to mount the transmission instead and that worked fine.

Picture of the bolt pockets and how they work (eliminating studs in the plate adapter):

Has this setup downhill in the eyes of the Cruiser community? A few years ago, I'd have given my left one for a turnkey 465 setup for this price. I know I've got well of $1400 or better in this thing. Is it the price, or the parts?

Offers? This can be delivered to CMCC for no cost. I am open to palletizing and taking to a shipper if you help coordinate - I *think*, based on some other threads I've read, shipping would be about $150. I'm getting a H55 shipped to me and that cost is around $100. Here's a picture of the whole setup:

It has been sitting in that same spot for about a year, and not a drop of fluid is on the floor. This is a tight setup!

Thursday bump. Looking for offers. Who needs some instant CRAWL in their 40/55?

Trying this again. Full setup - SM465/adapter/tcase/clutch/pressure plate/shifters/new pilot bearing/TO bearing/bellhousing $450. Don't haggle with me on the price and I'll throw in the beefy skid plate.

I'm happy to palletize and take to the loading dock as long as you pay for the shipping. I'll also do everything I can to help with mudship or other options. I hate to part this out since it's all bolted together and ready to bolt in for instacrawl.
