And they use the standard Chev bell housing.
But I am unsure whether they ever put a 4-speed behind one. Or 5 speed. So, flywheels? Clutches?
And you know that your ambulance has 5.83 rear end gears. While the GM V8 diesels are pretty high revving, even their one ton G.I. trucks with 4.58 had a max speed of 50 mph. You'll want overdrive. Which probably blows your budget. I do have a used 6/3 under a tarp. Not in my FFPWs.
Bettter to stick with a 292 if the conversion was well done. My own ideal would be a Ford 300 but for the dog house requireement.
