I put a NV3500 out of a full size 96 chev truck into my 72 cheyenne with a crate 350. It was a direct bolt up from the trans with it's attached bellhousing to the block. Used a stock auto crossmember. Used it's hydrl clutch setup. The 5 speed was GREAT. No issues for several years. Only thing i didn't like is the throwout bearing would self adjust--. That and the fact that the transmission needed electronic hookup for the speedo--no simple way around that!
