Engine/Drivetrain / SM 465 to NV4500 Question
« Last post by Mike81K10 on July 07, 2026, 10:42:19 pm »
Will the NV4500 directly swap with the SM465 (have an NP205 transfer case)? Will the transmission cover in cab work with the shifter location or will it have to be relocated? Will the driveshaft have to be modified or will it work? Will the NV4500 be good for the highway? It was a while since I drove my truck and when I had it on the highway with my 383 stroker, it just needs top end assistance. Winding out and not getting the performance with the SM465. Is not good for highway? I never had a problem with my stock 350 or just didn't realize a problem in the past.

I want to keep a manual transmission! I think an automatic may be too much trouble!

The OP hasn't been back on the forum since he posted the thread in August 2021. 

What year/model truck?  What engine?  Carbureted or injected?  Naturally aspirated or forced induction?  Have you tried Vile's suggestion yet?

Found this old video to show my setup.  There is swearing in the video

When you rebuild your gauges and want the needle color to match, Use Testors model paint Fluorescent Orange #1173

Recent Rambling on front accessories info i figured out the hard way.  Sometimes the "racecar stuff"  Is what you need no matter how stock your engine is.

 There is swearing.

buy the expensive fuel pump and be done with it.  Don;t be afraid to buy "racecar" parts if they're more reliable.  I have a lot of so called "racecar" parts on my bone stock 1978 350.  you get what you pay for.

There is swearing in the video.

2015  Playing with the gopro for the first time.  All I can say is Look how straight Scott got my truck at the body shop!!!

Camera mounted in two different positions.  Now ya know how good a job Scott did for me.  Dang he got that old truck straight!!!!

I don't know if this is allowed but...
Brown & Brown PRO Custom Paint & Body Shop at 44 Midland Ct, Winder, GA 30680  Painted my truck in 2007 and made it this gloriously smooth on a longbed!!  Ask for Scott!   Best Part about Scott was the entire time I wanted all these expensive lil upgrades and stuff and he did his best to save me money and shoot down my grand ideas about paint n body that I didn't need.  He was the real one!

I know some of you remember when this was a new thing.  Well photobucket ruined it for me and everyone else when they broke the internet that one time.
