It is my understanding that the NV4500 has a different bolt pattern in addition to the larger front bearing retainer. That is as compared to the SM465.
Hey John, Yeah I've got another thread as well in Engine and Drivetrain but that one may be a little shorter. I would have put it here but was afraid that it was getting off topic.

I guess I will keep the bellhousing after all if the earlier one won't fit. The slave setup isn't in the way, but I like the idea of just kinda cleaning things up if I could while I have the trans out already. I think I will sell my TH400 and the SM465-205 combos to help offset the cost of the syncros and possibly now bearings for the 4500 at this point.

BTW, I found that the 465 has a PTO on it that used to operate the Braden winch on my '64. I think it woud be a cool addition to the 4500. Does anyone know if the PTO's are interchangeable?
