sm465 to Nv4500

Does the floor need to be cut to make room for the transmission and transfer case shifters with an nv4500 swap. It is a pre 1995 nv4500.

The truck is an 86 1 ton with a 350SBC, sm465, and a np205

The NV4500 will fit under the floor just fine. the only thing you will have to cut is a new hole for your transmission shifter because the shifter on the nv4500 is about 4 to 5 inches farther back. Most people just get a floor hump from an automatic truck and cut the new hole. Im not exactly sure if the location of the t-case shifter changes.

Not the best pic I'm afraid, but maybe you can make out how the NV4500 sits in the floor of my truck. It's an original SM465 truck.

I had a truck with a n4500 with a 205 transfercase. when I got the truck they had a piece of mud flap and towel wraped around the 2 shifters. The trans shifter and the 205 shifter were almost side by side, infact the hole for the trans and transfercase were not divided. I used a shifter boot out of a 95 chevy truck with a nv4500 and the stock 205 shifter boot. I had to do a little fabing and conect the 2 boots together at the mounting rings, its been a long while back can't seem to remember why I didn't weld a strip between the 2 shifter holes. I didn't cut the hole for the nv 4500 so I don't know if a strip of floorboard between the two shifters could have been saved. The transfercase shifter location remained in the same location as stock.
