GMT 400 obsessed Swede.
As some of you may know, I'm on the hunt for a NV4500 to replace the 3500 that I cracked the housing on. I have found a 4500 on ebay for a reasonable price...but it's from a 94 GM gas application and it will be going in a 97 K1500 with the 4.3 Vortec(yeah, yeah I know..why you trying to mount this to a 4.3?)
Anyways, the 4500 I found doesn't have a bellhousing. What I'm wondering is, once I get a housing, will the slave mount up to it? I've searched some and haven't really found out how the slave actually mounts to it. Does it mount to the housing or the trans itself? To avoid confusion, I'm talking about mounting my internal slave to the trans.
Other question is, will the housing mount to the engine? I've seen some housings advertise that they mount to an 5.7/6.5/7.4...but just want to make sure.
I've got a local transmission shop that is willing to help me with this...I'm just wanting some advice before I buy this.
