As title says, I'm getting ready to put a ve pumped 12v out of a bus into my 87 K10. However, I'm running into a bit of a stumbling block regarding the transmission choice. Not a single one of my vehicles is an auto and I intend to keep it that way with this truck :drive:
The motor at most will get the pump played with, a he351ve turbo (have a couple laying around), and maybe a small set of injectors way down the road. It's mostly just an off road toy that hauls wood on occasion. My main goal of the swap is to break 10mpg for the first time ever haha. Being that the truck is a shortbed reg cab, a divorced t case isn't an option and neither is swapping the pass side drop kingpin 60 out.
I'm mainly looking at either a nv4500 or a getrag g360. But, I need a pass side drop t case. Can a first gen 29 spline np205 be mounted to a nv4500? Or since I'm not pushing silly power or towing heavy loads, would the getrag live for me? I'm handy enough to rebuild or tear into and modify a trans if need be.
Thanks for the help everyone.
