1995 chev w/t 4.3 5 spd

[95chev-w/t-guy]

It finally happened. The transmission in my 95 finally bit the dust. It went completely dry of oil on the highway. I'm working on tracking down another one, but it's proving very difficult to find an 88-95 NV3500. I've only managed to find one guy that has one, but he's being an asshole and refuses any offer I give him, yet he won't give won't give me a price either (aren't those guys great?). Any east coast members think they can help me out?? In the meantime, I figured if I have to do a tranny swap, it's as good of a time as any to finally do an engine swap. I got a TBI 305 from a 1990 caprice with 90,000 kms (56000 miles) about a week ago, hopefully it's basically a plug and go job as far as the wiring harness, but I doubt it. I'll have to change the fan shroud and engine mounts as well. Anyone on here recommend getting a rad from a v8?
