I picked up a 1974 d200 truck 360 , as a base for my engine build, Supposedly a low miles military unit.

I will be selling the flywheel,clutch,bell housing ,4 speed gearbox. I think it might be from a 4x4 , as it came with a very short prop, presumable to the transfer box.

It made the van sit down a bit

Good luck with it! Lots of options on engine builds out there. What's the plan?

Love a good motor build!

Don't get too excited, I've got the axle to finish off, and the Auto gearbox to rebuild yet .

I need to get the Manual 360 gearbox off and sold. and strip the motor, to see if it is any good .

A manual gearbox is not for me, but I'm sure a stout 5 speed unit could be mated to the bell-housing/ flywheel, but that's a project for some other guy

Well done!
Unusual box that- must be a truck unit?

You'll need to get a 360 mount for the k frame. Schumacher do them so do Mancini, it's the driver side one that's not the same as other small blocks

Are you going to stroke it?

😎 did you pick the engine up Andover way ?
I think there's one of those engines down there, if your motor turns out to be shot I'll ask him if he's still got it.

Looks like it's been sitting on a beach for 10 years........

1) I have stroked it, and petted it.
2) It may well have been kept in a beach hut, with the doors open.
supposedly low miles military. I won't know much until its opened up
3) It is definitely a gearbox from a 4x4 , but one with a remote transfer box , not as the bolt on one in the picture.
Will check out the numbers to identify engine and box.
