Spicer 5 speed?

Wondering if a spicer 5 speed out of an International bus with a 7.3 would work in a pickup, if the housing SAE# is the same. pretty sure its SAE#2.

Would be an interesting swap that i want to do and have access to a spicer. thanks!

If you get the block to #2 bell adapter then yea it will bolt up.I'm not sure how well it will fit and a dp will be murder to fit and sae usually mount on two side ears for the rear rather than single rear. It can be done and I had one in my 64 project truck but its a very large undertaking.

Thanks for the info! and i can fab up somethin for the dp. id do it for the sake of having a beast of a 5 speed and the coolness to say it has a spicer in it! and the 3 foot shift lever hahaha

i would stick with the ZF.
that spicer trans is HUGE. i bet 25% or more of it will be sticking out of the floor inside the cab. after you cut half the floor out of the truck.

How does that Spicer 5 speed physically compare to a 613?
I have talked with several guys that have done the 613 and said it was not too bad at all and they love the trans.

I always wanted to do one in my F-Super Duty, then I talked to a guy that did a 613 in his F-Super and said it fit fine.
