Thanks mongocanfly. Any chance you could send a link to those motor adapter plates? What type of tranny did your truck have before the swap? So, if you had kept the stock transmission, the motor mount adapter plates would have allowed you to use the stock crossmember as well? Was your stock crossmember at the bellhousing or the tranny?

How do you like the NV4500? How about the feel on the Advanced Adapters pressure plate (pedal feel)? Did the shifter hole moving back interfere with the bench seat (or are you running buckets)?

Any issues with the Z Bar adapter interfering with headers? If not, what kind of headers do you have?

Sorry for all the questions. Your experience is appreciated.
