Picked up a Laycock P-type overdrive for a good price today. Thinking about swapping it in place of the Gear Vendor that no longer engages in my '86 F350. (I really miss the OD) Externally it looks exactly the same. The PO says it came out of an '89 GMC with a 4-speed trans. It looks like it might bolt up to a NP205, but I'm not sure. (Just went to look at it closer and it does say "GV 205" on the casting!! Score!)
Are there any internal differences between the Laycock and GVO?
Any down side to just swapping it out?
I will also swap the big oil pan from my burned up unit to this one.
Another thought was to tear them both down and build one good one from the two. I've heard that the old clutch material is tougher than what GV can currently offer due to EPA/Cali restrictions.
I do know that I have to turn this around pretty quickly as I promised the wife it would be at least a break even deal- gotta pay the piggy bank back.;p
