Hello everyone, I'm new here. I've been googling religiously for an answer but no luck. I could be searching it all wrong and I came across similar problems but not exact to my situation. My DD is a 95 extended cab c1500 2wd 305 with 270k and nv3500 manual transmission with external slave. I bought a 96 extended cab c1500 2wd with a 350 vortec with automatic transmission (4l60e I belive), for 600$ it's a complete truck from head to toe. Only thing missing is the title, the reason why I got it cheap. Auto trans is "kinda" shot and the engine may have a head gasket leak but still runs great.
I want to fix up the engine and swap it into my 95 but I'm having trouble finding solutions. The nv3500 is completely rebuilt and I just put it back in this past weekend so I only got about 30 miles on it or so, Currently breaking in the clutch.
Since both trucks are complete with parts, how do I get this together? Since the 96 is all automatic stuff? I've seen many suggestions about having a 96+nv3500 due to the internal slave but what about the 95? How do I go about with all the electrical components? I really would like to have the manual transmission for the vortec.
