4 spd to 5 spd ???

Has anyone out there tried converting your 4 spd to a newer 5 speed trans. I've been doing some research and from I understand the 5 speed out of a 91-95 1 ton Chev (New Venture model MT-8 or MW-3) is a basic bolt in replacement. Only problem is they aren't too cheap. Has anyone tried this yet?
thanks Darrell..

Haven't tried it yet, but it depends on what parts you get if it's a bolt in or not. You need the correct bellhousing and an adapter kit for your particular transfer case, (assuming you have a 4x4 of course). MT-8 (NV4500) has 2 different bellhousing bolt patterns and neither one is the same as the older 3-4 speeds.
What ya thinkin about puttin one in?

I'm gonna be puttin one in my 72 before long I hope. I've got the trans, just waitin on Uncle Sam's refund check to see if I can afford the transfer case adapter kit, (Advance Adapters).
