AA all the way on the adapter.  I just got rid of my 350 84 x cab and thats the adapter that was in it.  Didnt require any mods to the location of the case either.  NWOR is a biotch to return stuff if its wrong wether its your fault or not.  I try and stay away from them as much as possible.

I flew half way around the world to buy my stuff from NWOR    .I sent them a fax telling them flt number and parts info. I get there and they act like their doing me a favor. I bought a "6 inch spring lift, 4.3L rams horn headers,shocks,HD drag link, 4 core radiator,3"body lift. They wanted to see the 3K before they attemped to fill the order.

Oh my adapter is from AA as are the engine mounts. Remember you will have to gut the tranny to install the shorter tail shaft for the adapter. So you might as well do a complete rebuild and include a good shift kit. I did and it's worth the time and money  . $175 complete on ebay.

  Chevy 350 in a T100 possible?  I can't find much info about it. Can anyone help?

[WHITE_TRASH]

If the t100 uses the w-59 trans then you can use the AA bellhousing for a w-56.

[crslayer426]

Any idea where i can find more info about it?

[crslayer426]

In the 80's pick up they require body lifts... What about the t100?

[WHITE_TRASH]

About what the trans or adapter?
The adapter you can go to www.advanceadapters.com

And for the trans info Id call the local dealer or get ahold of Marlin here on the board.

Id guess youd still need a little body lift beingsthe distributor might interfere witht he firewall.  The biggest reason for the body lift on the minitrucks was the bellhousing clearance.  But beings your keeping the same belhousing basically I dont think youd need much bl.
