    I’ve had this truck for twelve years or so. Lived in it for nearly ten of those years in streets and friends back yards. It was always the goal to make it the machine it wanted to be. When I got it in the shop they showed me how wrong it was originally put together. Wrong adapter plate. Wrong...

    I'm in the process of converting my automatic 1998 Chevy K2500 to 6BT/NV4500. I've read that the reverse switch is located on the column on the GMT400s. I've removed all the componentry associated with the automatic shifter and now I'm trying identify which wires to reroute to the reverse...

    Yes another oil thread but I am all about finding parts and fluids that are readily available and thus inexpensive. Though when it comes to transmission oil for the nv4500 you must use this magical oil that is no longer produced or use an alternative oil that has to be shipped or go to a...

    I am currently building a 1951 Chevy 3100 pickup and have a 4bt I ordered that will be the power plant. I see that there are a multitude of manual transmission options, but I have a few dumb questions to ask: 1) Do all transmission options require an adapter plate or is there a list of...
  12. Isuzu 4BD1T/2T
    I have a '94 FZJ80, and plan to swap my 4BD2T (still attached to the manual tranny). I need the overdrive, so I have no use for the stock Isuzu manual tranny, but I'll use the bellhousing. My goals for this project are longevity, more power to tow (9K lbs, albeit very rare occasions), and...

    I have been researching the different adapters available to connect a 4BD1T engine to a NV4500. If you have this setup I would like to know what adapter you are using and how it's working out. I read an older post with people having bearing issues. I would like to know how the newer adapters...
