NV3500 Install in a 78 C10

This is how I went about installing a 96/97 S10 NV3500 into my C10, this way worked for me and will probably be a little different if you use an older or newer transmission. I would stick with 96 and up though as they are the strongest versions of them.

Parts list:

Purchased through Rock Auto

Flywheel: LUK LFW101 – 78 C10 5.7
Clutch Kit: LUK 04160 – 98 C1500 5.0
Hydraulic bearing assembly: LUK LSC265 – 98 C1500 5.0

Purchased through Speedway Motors

Rod end-5/16: 1170720
Master Cylinder: Wilwood 70174-750
Banjo bolt kit: 5151398
36” stainless line -3AN: 91031846-3
Adapter-T56 release bearing: 5151396
Remote Bleeder kit-12”: 5151399-12

Ok so to start I put in the clutch pedal box and pedals. I didn’t take many pictures of this, it took a while and you’ll have to remove a good portion of the interior. It helped to loosen the seat and slide it to the passenger side so you can lower the steering column as well. Yes I did use a much cheaper Z-bar (manual linkage) pedal assembly. I cleaned it up, put in new bushings and pedal pads while I was at it.
