NV4500 mount to SBC?
Hey guys, I'm going back and forth between an LS motor and a SBC for my 67 GMC 1/2t pickup build. I really want a 5 speed transmission, whichever engine I go with. With help from this forum, I decided an NV4500 is probably the trans I want with an LS motor. Will this trans also work with a SBC, without major modifications other then maybe bellhousing? My current trans is the stock 4 speed with granny, and worn out synchros. I really don't want to put a fresh motor in, but still have the worn out stock trans. However, money is tight, so i can't spend alot on fabricating lots of special parts to make things work.
This is my first restoration and I've got alot to learn!
Thanks.67 GMC Pickup, owned since I was 15, driven regularly til 1997, in storage until Oct 2012. SBC 283 from a buddy's 66 Chevelle, stock engine, stock 4 speed tranny with granny gear. Working on a light restoration.
Thanks Glenn, it’s believed to be a Gen 5. 454. I’ll see if I can snap some pics of the stamped and cast numbers and post them here. Maybe we can define the year and model
