Nice truck sounds like a good plan except the nv3500 part. You will scatter it faster than those 4l60's. You should look at a tko or a ss700 from kiesler for manuals. Good luck!

Looks like a great project!!!!

I am getting the nv3500 for $300, it should to get the conversion done and hopefully give me time to save up for a t56. I haven't made any real progress yet. I had to move my alarm system (an unplanned step), It was mounted right where the clutch bracket fits. I am planning on getting the pedals in this weekend.

Just be really really easy on it. No power shifts, clutch dumps an easy on the throttle an it might live.

In other words no fun stuff allowed an drive like a grandpa!

Should my tranny swap be documented on this thread or am I supposed to start a swap thread in the tranny section? I make some progress this weekend
