I love the truck. Great project. I have had several and have a 94 4.3 5 speed right now. I keep wanting to change it out to my 5.3 that I have in the garage for my 62 chevy. The problem is even the 4.8 would really push the limits of the nv3500. I bought mine to get me back and forth to work so I can play with my 62 and 84 trucks. If this one is going to be your toy I would look hard for a 4.8 and run it unitl the trans blows. Look into Novak conversions. They have a really slick flywheel that makes the swap much less of a guess. I have a lot of other info on this swap since I did one last year and have been looking for my 94. Oh I like your old bench seat do you have any plans for it?
