Can I swap an 88 burb to a stick with a 77 k5 pedal assembly? will it just bolt in?? Got a dead k5 rustbucket and access to an 88 burb with a bad trans and good motor. Both 350's Thanks!!!

I'm guessing you're too young to have grown up with one of these?

No it's not just going to be a bolt for bolt swap. Are they both Ks?

The 77 is mechanical release where an 88 would be hydro. Use all the pedal assy & z-bar stuff on the 88. Driveshafts will differ & you'll run into a few other small issues...but it's very doable.

Flywheel is different also, not sure about speedo drive. I'm assuming they are both 4wd
