1 st question
03-15-2008 should bolt right to your bell. check to see if it has a 5 1/8 front hole for the trans to insert thru.

2 nd question
i will just add to my previous post. they were in 1/2 ton chevy/gmc pickups. both 2wd and 4 wd. i'll guess they started in 80 or 81 and went thru 86? they also came with all engine combo's. inlines, v8's and diesel. tom
here is the previous post
there is another choice. NEW PROCESS made a trans for chevy 1/2 ton trucks in the early 80's,called a MY6. it is a 4 speed with 4th being overdrive. the ratios are identical to a 700r4. it is made to bolt to a chevy truck bell also. same length as a muncie and same input and output shafts. it is simular to the chyrsler a833 4 speed. i have a bunch of them on a pallet in the shed. they use a shifter like a muncie. tom
3rd question
i'd tell you to use a truck bell from a later model w/ hydraulic throwout bearing engagement. tom
