NV4500 Swap Questions
 
Hello folks. I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I just picked up an NV4500 to swap into my K20. The transmission is from an LS based truck and includes the bellhousing. What's involved in mating this to my engine? I have a Vortec 350, SM465, and a factory hydraulic clutch setup with an aftermarket external slave cylinder. Can I use the LS bellhousing? What other parts do I need (clutch release bearing, slave cylinder, clutch, etc)?

I went the other way, I put a LS in front of a nv4500..those parts you have are worth something, so dont toss them..
I'm just gonna assume that you'll need everything from engine to trans from a donor truck with NV and sbc..
I searched for awhile for all the stuff you have, gave up and went with advance adapters ..

Now is the perfect time to put in an LS

I just had an after market slave cylinder and mount on a regular mechanical clutch bellhousing. Although, I do have a complete 1985-91 hydraulic setup including the bellhousing just sitting around

I certainly would if money and time weren't in short supply right now. My truck desperately needs a 6.0.
