Can you use the same rear case? Do you need a different rear mainshaft (if so, where can one buy one)? Are there mods to "retrofit" the electronic setup to a manual setup. I just picked up a 2.95 geared S-10 (GM bolt-pattern) - need to figure out the "rest of the picture". Thanks!
Your mainshaft will work, You just need to remove the reluctor and put on a GM 7 tooth mech gear and clip. As far as the housing goes you need to mill down and weld in a fill piece, then machine a new hole at the correct angle for the bullet and plastic worm drive. If you have never done it and are only going to do one It is better to buy a new aftermarket housing from Allstate or send your housing to Alloyspeicalties and have them convert it for you. If you need any contact info or any help feel free to PM me.
