NV3500/Getrag Reference thread!?

[Roostboy102]

I was just wondering if there is anyone with definite answers on what's needed to put the old getrag 5 speed behind the ls engines? Should I not look for the old style? Should it be the nv out of the newer chevy trucks? Is the hydro throwout bearing better than the old slave cylinder setup?

I understand that the newer NV3500 is a direct bolt up and you would just use 4.8 parts and be ready to roll. I found a good deal on the older style (out of a 91 truck) and just wondering if it's worth the hassle.

All the info I've found thus far is a bunch of discussion but not a whole lot of cut and dry facts! JW if anyone has these facts

Thanks guys!
