    A nv4500 is still too light for what I'll be doing with this truck .. Besides the fact that I want to keep the bandstyle emergency brake, and I like the heavy rear yolk .. I've seen plenty of NV4500's go out.. the tranny in this thing is going to last alot longer ... And i don't really need a...

    There is no adapter plate.. The bellhousing comes directly off the tranny to the block

    Mine is a standard GM 6 bolt pattern.. It's not a SAE

    Thanks for the information... I have a line on a Detroit engine that I think I'm going with instead .. As well as I found a SAE bellhousing .. So it likes that's the new plan .. I always figured if I found a Detroit I would use that instead.

    I can't argue with that part ... I found a 3-53 turbo Detroit as well, that would've worked pretty nicely in it too ... Or it would have been a good bargaining chip, to try and deal a 4-53 ... I may still pick it up, just to have it .. The price is right .... But a diesel in this truck would...

    I can probably get a picture .. I was under there today and it is a little tough to see.. But I noticed it a standard GM bolt pattern, in the half round shape ( meaning it doesn't appear to extend down underneath and all the way around, like some others) .. It has a dust shield that bolts to the...

    Just on a quick note .. The transmission that's in it is actually NP542CL 5 speed... Not a Clark 5 speed .. My bad

    I know a guy that has the nv4500 bellhousing , I should take some measurements and see ... It looks like there should be plenty of room for a big block .. There is one I just saw that has a 366 in it, and it's a 68.. Also on these the lower portion of the firewall is recessed back, which gives...

    Thanks, I did wonder about cutting out the bellhousing to make the starter fit ... And the tranny is 1:1 ... But right now with the 4:88 gears, and 10r22.5 tires, at 110 kph , it's at 2200 rpm with this gas engine, there's room to go to 11r22.5's if that's still too high.. But I also have access...

    Thanks alot, that definitely gives me some digging to do.. That was probably my biggest concern, apart from which flywheel to use .. If it gets to be too much of a headache, I my just keep it gas and run a 454.. Thanks for the information ,much appreciated

    I've seen that one .. There's a few out there with boxes .. I wanted to build one I could use for pulling a gooseneck with, that's why I went with a deck on mine .... They're cool old trucka either way tho
