How to: LS engine to NV3500 manual transmission- Part 1 

Thanx for all your video's, very informative and no bull shit how to's. It's refreshing after all the other fluff on here.

Whenever I install right bearings like that pilot bearing, I will store the bearing in the freezer until just before I install it and warm the area in the flywheel with a small torch, they go in surprisingly easy that way

Just did a similar setup with my 5.3L into my Jeep. Same transmission, just slightly diff on the NV3550. Almost 400hp and I haven’t blown it yet. 😜

looks like a real strong pilot bearing.

I'm doing this swap to my 68. Great minds think alike.

Just lil on the luk clutch stuff, probly the best you can get for them, I've used many different brands, my truck is a 4.8 turbo, pushing around 700hp, no clutch other than luk will hold up properly, only real upgrades are using spec stuff

I got a Sachs throw out slave part number Lsc326 for a 05 Silverado to go with the part numbers you have on yours so my question is do you have to run a spacer behind the throw out bearing? The measurements I have tell me that I’m about .8 to .9 of an inch from the teeth of the pressure plate to the compressed throw out bearing ?

thank you buddy. very helpful

Definitely following along

Thanks for the videos. Is there a 2nd part?

We used a 2005 got flyweel and we liked it batter but everyone application is different

I got a gmt900(09 1500 with 4.8) would it be pretty much the same route as your 4.8swap? Wanting to build a turbo truck me want another manual. Tired of the b.s grenade myself 60e. Not buying another "built" or "bullet" proof. Last transmission lasted 50k and was paid for by previous owner. Truck has 158k I've hauled once with it and haven't beat on the truck hardly besides pulling someone out of the mud and hauling a trailer around a bunch of stee hills. It's a wt.

Part 2 ?

Would this work with the factory ls7 clutch kit, its only 300

What was the pilot bearing number?

Why is my pilot bearing different

Doing a 5.3 swap on a '95 c1500 and planned on using the the nv3500 thats in the truck, external slave. I've searched the internet up and down to find out if the external slave will clear the oil pan. I did watch your video on the '93 and you didn't mention anything about it. I've installed a camaro oil pan and ditched the truck pan. Some say it will clear fine, some say it won't. I've also heard that the s10 nv3500 is different then the c1500. If you could clarify any of this I'd greatly appreciate it.

Do you know if the mounting points are the same or similar to a t5 or 56? Trying to figure out if I need to fab parts or if a swap kit gets it close

Is there a part 2?

Stock internal throw out bearing ?

Did you ever get this setup to work?

Part 2 on the way?

Did you run a spacer behind the flywheel or just direct to the crank? I have a lm7 with 04 nv3500 and all the 4.8 components in a 93 1500 and for the life of me cannot get the clutch to fully release? When I switched to internal slave trans from external.

I got a flywheel with my tranny off of a 5.7 350 small block will that flywheel bolt to the 4.8/5.3

153-tooth or 168-tooth ?

Got any drive along videos on the nv3500

are the part numbers the same for a 5.3L?

Will this work this kit work with a lm7 and a t56?

Yup , this wonderful economy. Pick three letters to go here.

looks like a troll porno linker again man that happening to all the auto channels this last 2 weeks or so .so no spacer needed on the flywhell for shorter crank A?

Do you know what yoke the nv3500 uses? My research shows a 4l60e yoke but id like to be sure before I buy.

People!!!! There's no part 2 because the shit doesn't work!!!!! Found that out after 2 different transmissions only to find out that the clutch will not release
