I have been working on this swap for 6 months. Finding the parts locally is nearly impossable. If/when I do find them they are over priced compared to others locations on this site.
I am more convinced with every passing day that the COMPLETE NV4500 kit from:
http://www.high-impact.net/transmiss...ear/nv4500.htm
is the way to go for me. At 3 grand its not cheap until you consider your getting everything you need, brand new with a warranty. No rebuilding a used trans, swapping gears/inputs, blah, blah blah.
Stick it in and be done with it for another 40 years.
