Hi John, Thanks for the reply...My main concern was to keep the stock location of the clutch/brake pedals. I think the 55-62 V8 bellhousing will do that and still bolt up to the 292/SBC/BBC. I'm thinking the bellhousing will need some machine work to mount the NV4500 to it.

Would like to use mechanical clutch fork and not the hyd. slave cyl...I think????

I wanted & found the '93 NV4500 for it's low 1st 6.34 gear and as a bonus it has a PTO and drum brake. I have not given the speedo issue to much thougth....I'll have to deal with that at some time.

I'd love to see some pics of your project! Let me know how the progress is going. 1940 Chevy/GMC is my second favorite truck to own. I'm working on my third '54 and if I started bringing home '40's I would really be in the "Dog House"...I doesn't keep me from looking at them thou. Good luck with yours!
