best donor vehicle for a 350/350/300 drivetrain combo if it exists...

[spencurai]

my buddy is looking for new drivetrain for his 67 commando. he would like GM for cost and reliability.

he wants an auto tranny

he also wants the reliability of a dana-300

is there a vehicle with a 350-motor-th350 or 400 or 700r4 and dana 300 t-case....we need to get his rig together since he spun a bearing in the old oddfire...

I think the best you are going to do to find that combo is:
360, TF727, D300.

I have never heard of a 350,350, 300.

I dont think a 300 ever came in a chevy...I may be wrong though...I would say look for a 350-350-205...205s are all gear driven like the 300, and they aren't TOO hard to find...prolly easier and cheaper than the 300...and they can be twin sticked too...FWIW

But,,, without a doubler they can't do 4:1

 

[Caleb]

true, atleast for now...

 

[Caleb]

or they could do a doubler and be the same length as a stock 203...but thats means more $$$, trust me I know

Spenc, I have a 350 and a Dana 300. All you need to get is the TH350 and adapt it.

 

[Caleb]

there you go...couldn;t be easier than that...did you give your TH350 away or are you keeping that???

[Caleb]

Nope, the 350 is in the for sale section.

J.R. at MS Conception is doing a buildup of a commando, hes doin a 350 465 205 combo though.. hes doing a sweet job on it, it would maybe give your buddy some pointers and a direction to go on his buildup...and I would say go 203 205 doubler stronger than a 300, even when the 300 is built....

If you have the room.

plenty of room in a commando, especially after looking at JR's a few days ago..
