i am thinking about doing a nv4500 swap into my 96 4x4 auto i was wondering if i am better off just building the auto tranny or swaping to a 5 speed and what the cost of a 5speep swap will be and where i can find all the parts for the swap.

 

look up my post on hear i did the swap to my 96 and wrote up a post with all the parts and how to go about doing it, the swap cost me roughly 3500 dollars and that was with billet input shaft, and a good clutch, took me 3 days to complete working on it solo and taking my time and looks factory when done. I recently took it in for some body work and i got a surprised call from the shop manager who ran my vin and informed me my truck used to be a automatic. so they where unable to tell it used to have a slushbox in it. let me know if you need any info on where to get parts.

 

yes actually i would be very interested in where to get the parts

 

I have been thinking about doing an auto swap and might be interested in swapping stuff with you

 

alright cool just let me know if you want my auto its a 47re that was rebuily 2years ago and it has a high stall torque converter in it the tranny works perfectly.

 

Whats the kinda power levels it can handle so I can figure if I need to buy anything for it before it goes in my truck, also if we swap I will be willing to rebuild my transmission, the 3rd gear synchro's need to be replaced and 4th pretty soon

 

It can handle about 300 HP

It can handle about 300 HP

 

Ok so I would have to buy some stuff for it, will see how much money I can come up with in the next month and see if I can afford to do it, I have a good friend in Las Vegas that has a shop who could do all the labor for a good price, I dont know how far you are from vegas but its about 10hours for me

 

its about the same for me but i want to buy all the hard ware for the tranny like the bell housing and etc everything i need for the tranny swap.

 

Ok just let me know when your ready and will see if we can meet up and get it done
