I want one of these older units for my planned Miata setup. Compact as possible. T56/6060 is such a ridiculous unit for that car. My Challenger is 4000lbs and it fits that car well haha
I picked up a 73 K5 Blazer that had a 350 with a 4speed manual trans. My question is can I keep the 4speed manual and use it on the 5.3 ls that will go in the blazer ?
Good video. I’ve got a 6.0 that I want to bolt a Saginaw up to. I’ve got an aftermarket steel scatter shield instead of the old factory aluminum bell housing. I’m wondering is that flywheel and clutch will clear. Anyone know?
No, I just spent 4 months trying to find one, 81-85 sm465 bells work, or some anyways, look for one with 6 mount holes in it, the later hydraulic ones have dual patter holes as well, I went non hydraulic though
did u use silicone on flywheel bolts as they are drilled into engine cavity on LS crankshaft....what about ring gear size for LS starter? so can i use the flywheel off my inline 6 250ci and buy like centerforce HD pressure plate n disc
I used locktite on the bolts. 4.8 flywheel, clutch and preasure plate from an early 80s gmc 6.2 diesel truck. The contact patch of the clutch disc is a little bigger than the one on the flywheel. There is about a half inch unused in the center. Might not be the proper setup but thats what i used and its been working so far.
I know it's an old video, but I wanted to know how you set up your Z-bar with headers, or what headers you used. I'm trying to find a set of headers that give me room to run the mechanical setup. But I'm having a little trouble,I'm trying to find a set of headers that give me room to run the mechanical clutch. But I'm having a little trouble,This is in a 69 Firebird.
I converted to a hydraulic slave. As for headers, just factory 5.3 manifolds flipped upside down and backwards. Merged them into a Y and exited passenger side of engine
I am using LQ4 6.0 LS with a SM465 with setup. Going into a 1970 C10. Which pivot clutch bracket are you using or is the a video. I have found two from SDPC part SDCB or SDCBV? Which of the two brackets?
So I have a 66 c10 with a 4 speed tru ck trans... you are basically saying you took parts for an 84 and bolted them on... so if I had a 5.3ls I could use my clutch pressure plate and all just bolt it in, connect my cables and run with a carb intake for ls... correct?
Used a 4.8 flywheel. The clutch is from a mid 80s truck. I used a hydraulic internal slave cylinder from speedway motors. The flywheel and clutch disc do not fit perfectly. There is about half inch of disc that doesnt contact the flywheel.
there are 2 different size bellhousings due to clutch size; 10 inch & 11 inch use the small, 12 inch uses the big one, but the bolt patterns are the same. It's an internal difference.
@@Boostmonger_Jon well the TH350 in my pickup is making *angry noises* so its finally time to slide my NP833 in. Going to pull the motor as well and give it some much needed maintenance.
all i ever herd was that other that the first year or so of 4.8 n 6.0 the crankshaft is 40 thousands shorter i do have the spacer in my tool box if i need it...any thoughts man ???
BoostMonger I’m going to use the center exit block hugger tight fit headers from speedway motors and my linkage ball is on the bell housing instead of the block but they make a bracket for the absence of the ball on the block
@@Boostmonger_Jon for now I have not swapped the LS into it yet. The 250 inline 6 on it is up to 80 miles on the track. It is a slow transmission but will use it on my LS as a cruiser anyways. Very low maintenance transmission. I have a rebuild costing $300.00 only VS thr T56.
Maybe it's a big deal because you have to raise the front of the engine while someone pushes the tail of the transmission down so you can shoe horn it down in the engine bay...
I’m a simple man I see a 4 speed manual I Hit Like😬
Ls7 pilot bearing will sit in that first groove on the crank. Gives better seating to the input shaft.

What has to be done about any wiring that had to be plugged into the original transmission? I’m guessing it was an automatic?
Cold in there A? Must be summer in Canada good job ready to do same soon
using that setup 1/3 of the front side of the disc is not contacting the flywheel
I’m building a 66 sbc what all will I need to con very from the old 4 speed to the nv3500
thanks for the tips.
Can I get a part number on that clutch
What was the part numbers for the flywheel and clutch assembly?
Nick Chambers I got the Sachs 1050 flywheel off eBay cheapest I could find then the 12” pressure plate and clutch for an 84 GMC k2500

Nice job brother
Thanks dude!
Good video. I’ve got a 6.0 that I want to bolt a Saginaw up to. I’ve got an aftermarket steel scatter shield instead of the old factory aluminum bell housing. I’m wondering is that flywheel and clutch will clear. Anyone know?
I also got a 6.0 mating up to a 3 speed Saginaw in progress.
Thats awesome! Id be interested to see how they perform together
Hey just got a 4.8 what all do I need to change to mate my 4speed this is my first swap
Apache ls4 4.8 I have a list of almost everything I’m using for mine on my channel
Interesting video but….no lol tire,no torque tightening,no grease ??? But It’s vert cool to see how It’s easy to install the gearbox on the LS
Will this work with a SBC Muncie bell housing?

I switched to an internal hydraulic slave/master from Speedway motors.
What's the release/throwout bearing part number?
Any issues running the throw out bearing and not running the hydraulic throw out bearing???
Working great so far!

@@Boostmonger_Jon what is this 4 speed?? Inehich trans do i find it?
Np440. Come in some early 80s gm 2wd trucks
@@Boostmonger_Jon would it work with my ly6 6.0 2007??
And how was the side clearance for the shifter??
I had to rework the tunnel a bit for the shifter box. I dont see why it wouldnt work behind a 6.0
What kind of transmission is this? & what kind of bell housing?
It's a np 440 to the best of my knowledge. Came out of and early 80s chevy diesel. Not sure if its a big or small block bellhousing.
Big blocks and small blocks have the same size bell housings
there are 2 different size bellhousings due to clutch size;
10 inch & 11 inch use the small, 12 inch uses the big one, but the bolt patterns are the same.
It's an internal difference.
@@Boostmonger_Jon That's the MY6 4 Spd OD trans. I love them, have one in my 57 and another to swap in my 67 SWB.
Nice! What kind of engines do you have them behind? Just curious about how much power its gunna hold.
Hows it holding up? I had a hard enough time getting ahold of one for my C10, cant imagine just randomly coming into possession of one lol
Yeah they are kind of rare. Its hasn't been farther than around the block yet. But that went well lol
I found one on the trash yesterday idk if works or not, if u intrested let me know..5748508403

Iv heard that aswell. Pretty sure its only if your using an older auto trans tho.
what did you do about the clutch bolts being metric
?
jason birch ordered arp flywheel bolts from summit for the year model of your engine
Part number clutch kit please

Hi is the original bell housing 4 speed?
Yes it is.
Sorry if I didn't hear you say what trans but which gm trans did you use?!
Knowing me i probably forgot to say lol its a np440. Not because of any other reason than, thats what i had easily available.
NP440, aka NP833, aka MY6.
Extremely rare, only came in 80-87 C10s
I know this is an older video but I’m using manual clutch linkage
Nice! That was my original plan but i didnt have room for the bar.
BoostMonger I’m going to use the center exit block hugger tight fit headers from speedway motors and my linkage ball is on the bell housing instead of the block but they make a bracket for the absence of the ball on the block
@@hotrods4x4s18 is it speedway that makes thats bracket?
BoostMonger I got it at Summit $75 it’s called Chevrolet Performance Clutch Pivot Ball Brackets SDCB
It bolts in with the bell housing bolts I bought it before I realized I didn’t need it
What're you spraying everything down with?
Dish soap
Ohhhh Frick ya bud!!
so the clutch on a c1500 is the same spline like the muncie?
GM 1 1/8 inch 10 spline clutches came in ALOT of vehicles. From the 1940s to the 2,000s
Did you change the bell housing
No, its the factory bellhousing.
Hi is that np 883
Yes
It’s a big deal because people are too lame to even DRIVE a manual transmission much less learn about them
The flywheel for LS 5.3 are same size?
Didnt offer 5.3 manual but yes same size will fit
@@rustedratchetgarage6788 yea they did
will this work for a 6.0?

Get you a cheap gps speedometer on ebay

Or buy a cellphone for 15$ and use torque pro for free?

Do you not need the 0.400" flywheel spacer?
The sachs 1050 is .400 thicker than other LS flywheels
