88GMCtruck's NV4500 Swap

[96-1500]

You guys both make excellent points. I just remember all the problems he had and wanted to warn others. I wonder why it gave him so much trouble? Maybe the engine in his truck had an aftermarket crankshaft??

Good question. P2 pretty much hit the nail on the head though IMO.

That is possible. I know the aftermarket crank I got for my 78 had a big tag on it stating to check for correct pilot bearing fit before installing it.

I didn't since its an auto an that might bite me now since I've got an nv3500 I'd like to put in it someday...

Found another one. A guy emailed me saying he has a 5 speed from a 96, with transfer case, pedals, the whole 9 yards. I asked what engine is in the truck, he responded saying it had a diesel but the engine is long gone. Will this transmission have the right bellhousing to go behind my 350? Since it was behind a diesel, it's safe to say that its a nv4500 rather than a nv3500, correct?? thanks for any help guys

I think think bell housing will work but I'm not 100% sure.

I am 100% sure it should be a nv4500 unless someone has monkied with it...

I know for a fact that an auto diesel trans will bolt up to a small block (I have done it), so I don't see any reason the standard wouldn't.

x2 definitely an NV4500

GM bellhousings on anything from a GMT400 pickup will be the same no matter if it's V6, V8, gas or diesel.

It's not a threadjack, good information for others wanting to swap transmissions whether it be a NV4500 or not.

Lucky us GM was pretty universal throughout these years.

I too am needing this item. I pulled all my pedals at the JY yesterday but could not figure out how to remove this without a grinder or something, which would need to be battery operated of course.

How did you remove this from the donor truck?
