Re: NV3500 in a 65 question.

The S10's did not come with the NV3500's just the T5's. The NV3500's were in the '88 and up full sized trucks.

I've not done the swap, but you will have to convert your truck to a hydraulic actuated mclutch. As for the drive shaft length, that is something that you will need to measure once you have the engine and trans in place. Then you will need to either have a longer one shortened, or a complete new one built. Having one shortened is much less money.
