what's up Boricua? I believe Ted knows the answer, If my memory serves me correct, those trans are the same as in the T2. I know I saw a post once, but can't remember exactly what was the difference between them (if any)!

If it is a T2 Tranny caseing.....

... then it should just bolt up. All you'll need otherwise is 2nd Gen Auto driveshaft.

Only question is whether you'll need to go to a T2 clutch. If you do, then you'll need to change the flywheel because of the larger circumference (sp?). If so, then when you grab the Auto driveshaft, be sure and grab the counter weight between the auto tranny torque converter and engine block as it will be easier to also go lightened steel (my choice) or aluminum aftermarket.

Have fun.

from what judgeito told me, he had to swap out the trans bell housing to make a TII engine fit the b2000 pick trans.

He had a B2000 with a TII engine. He sold his truck now, but i saw it a few days ago and it does 12s in the 1/4 mile. Fast truck.

WRONG. The 2nd gen auto driveshaft will NOT allow a TII transmission to bolt to an NA diff. You either need a custom shaft fabbed (NA yolk, TII flange) or you need to install the TII rear subframe and all related components.
