NV4500 swap question

[Rebel88]

Has anyone here swapped an nv4500 into their trucks? I got a 64 c10 2wd with a shot 200-4r in it that the PO swapped in and im looking to swap over to a stick shift with OD.

I've done some searching but everything seems to be geared towards 4x4 setups. Now my question is does anyone know the overall length of a 2wd nv4500 with the bellhousing attached. Mainly want to know so I can figure out if I have to mod the driveshaft any.

Edit - I still might just keep it auto and go with a th350 or th400 not sure just tossing around ideas.

the only difference if the tailshaft and housing and not having a transfer case. driveshaft will have to have a different frt yoke and the length of the shaft may have to be altered but you won't have that measure until you have the trans in . if you are worried about the cost of the d/shaft then you won't be able to afford the 4500

So true! That being said, I have a 2wd shorty in mine. Let me know if you want the measurements.

Thanks. Just kinda tossing around some ideas right now and was just trying to figure out what all was gonna be involved in the swap. I had a line on a nv4500 at a local pull-a-part and they charge a flat rate for transmissions regardless of what kind it is so cost for the trans wasnt an issue (think it was about a $100 all together lol).

I still might end up putting this 400 inch pontiac thats sitting on the stand in my garage and if I do that I'm gonna put a th400 in it and call it done.

I still have a bunch of bodywork to do yet and a few other things. Right now I just have too many ideas in my head for this truck and I'm trying to narrow them down lol.
