Re: 66 4x4 my sons new project

Picked up the NV4500 from the rebuilder. New mainshaft, 5th countergear, bearings, seals and synchros. All ready for some Amsoil and the NP205. I'm planning to use the stock 93 bellhousing for now and see how that goes. I picked up some fittings to adapt that weird slave cylinder fitting to -3an so I can run a custom hose down to the passenger side from the MC. I think that with my lift I'm not in danger of the front driveshaft hitting the passenger side slave cylinder. Anyway, I've got the bellhousing already so I'll see if it works first before forking over hundreds more for the advance adapters piece. Plus I just like factory parts.



Funny story, a guy met me at the transmission shop to pick up that wheel and tire that you see in the back of the truck. When I walked out of the shop he was checking out the tail adapter on the trans. Turns out he is trying to do the same adapter mods to put an NV4500/NP205 into his Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler behind an LS1. So we shot the breeze for a half hour or so. Its funny who you run into when you are just giving stuff away on craigslist At least now I've got a local buddy who is into the 4wds.
