Thanks
I have a 5.3 that I pulled from an '05 GMC, and an nv4500 out of a 2wd gm (the shortest tailhousing). I basically followed the advice in this thread (
http://ls1tech.com/forums/conversion...-ls-motor.html) for figuring out how to mate the 5.3 to nv4500 without having to use the expensive new style clutch or a hydraulic throwout bearing. I'll show pics and explain what I did a little more when I get near installing the drivetrain. Whenever this 5.3 gives out, I plan on putting together a 408 (6.0 bored .030 over with 4" crank) with the intention of making it a torque monster below 3,500rpm since this will be a work truck rather than a rod.
