Question Tremec 3550 Conversion

Has anyone converted their NP435 setup to a Tremec 3550 5 speed? Just curious if it is worth the money. Thanks.

Bill

In what? If it's a truck i would go with the ZF 5-speed trans. Much stronger.

It would be going in a 1977 Ford F250 4X4. Do they sell converison parts for this set up?

You will have to fab the cross member and fab up a hyd clutch set up for the zf. I am sure the drive shafts will be different lengths but the 205 case will bolt right up to the zf. This is from reading other post. I have not done this swap but hope to on my 78 bronco project with a 460. I just need to find a good deal on a BB ZF 4X4 trans.
