SunSoaked is back & the NV4500 Swap resumes
 

Hey guys,

14 months later, I find myself in a new job and itching to get back at my
69K10/CUCV project.

I was able to marry up the NV4500 and NP205 during the down-time. Modified the shift rails for a twin-stick setup. Here's how she looks today; ready to drop in.

I see several NV4500 conversion threads on here while I was away...

Hope this helps somebody-

BTW-I'm in need of a 32 spline fixed yoke for the rear output. Anyone?

It's good to be back :metal:

That looks awesome. Something I definitely want to do once I can go back to work.

that is nice! sure would like to replace the t400 with one

Re: SunSoaked is back & the NV4500 Swap resumes
 

Is the adapter part of the NV4500. what year T-case are you using. I would like to do the same thing in my 71. I have the SM465 and 205.

Re: SunSoaked is back & the NV4500 Swap resumes
 

The adapter is from AA and the 205 is a late "round 6 bolt" pattern built from new "old stock" parts, including the case.

are your shift rail detent pin plugs and the shift for roll pin access plugs threaded? was that a modification? i have never seen that before.

Re: SunSoaked is back & the NV4500 Swap resumes
 

Yes, they are. I started with a new case, so why not? Easy enough to tap the holes and insert a 1/8" pipe plug. Won't have to deal with knocking out those itty bitty brass plugs and fishing them out of the case if I ever need to get into it.

Re: SunSoaked is back & the NV4500 Swap resumes
 

I think its a sweet plan. FYI, at some point in the 80s, the brass core plugs were replaced by little rubber plugs that are much easier to deal with.

Good to see you getting back to the project :metal:
