Hello all! I'm new to this conversation, but am needing info on switching from my SM420 to the NV4500 in my '65 C-10.
My understanding from reading and asking an old-school transmission guy is that they will bolt directly up to my bell housing on my 283. He also told me that the NV4500 used an hydraulic clutch, but that it operated externally, so I could adapt my existing clutch and mechanism to it, getting rid of the hydraulic version. Are these things true?
Also - I have access to a 1995 NV4500 for a reasonable price, but I believe that that version did not support a mechanical speedometer. Is that true, and, if so, can it be converted, seeing as how I do not want to alter my dash cluster.
Thanks for your help!
