There should be plenty of info on the NV4500 swap avail. Did you try Pirate and CK5? You may also want to look here, http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=431033 .

Figured some of the links might be useful. I would love to do this swap myself also, interested to see how it comes out. Looks good so far.
