As others have said, it'll bolt up alright....I can't honestly help with the 4wd stuff tho. Every trans swap I've done has been to get RID of that lol.

The trans is the early 90-95 version (MT8) and ues I always have to prove it is really a NV4500 in a 1/2 ton as no one believes it LOL

with the [241C transfercase if that matters.

Mr clinebarger,,, I have finally found a RAM clutch that holds up, as every HD clutch I've used only lasts 75k and is chattering like a jackhammer. I saw some links where a standard SBC clutch can be fotted to the LS clutch bolt pattern with just opening the clutch holes up,, or a collared bolt (cant remember) Are you familiar with such?

I guess lets not put too much thought into it all. The van was gone by the time I got out there to have a look, and the whole idea just seems counterproductive. I'm pulling a 26foot 8500 pound trailer (loaded) with a 5100 pound 117" wheelbase 1/2 ton which is just stupidity I know. The little Vortec 383 roller motor is marginal but does the job,,,

more power isn't what I need ....MORE TRUCK is. I just need to find a nice 02-05 3/4 ton extended cab with a duramax and allison and be done with it.

Well,,,... that or a 40' coach with a cummins and 6spd like I really want LOL, At least I'd have something to live in when the wife throws my ass out for buying it!!!
