I apologize I did not specify. Unfortunately my 88 crew cab originally had a 350TBI/TH400 and is 2wd.

I do know that I have the 1st gen of the NV4500, it is from a 94 and has the 6.34 first gear. The shifter is bolted differently than yours. I just picked it up yesterday.

My friend had mentioned I swap to the internal slave type or get a universal slave that I can put lines out the drivers side. I am not sure if that is really an option.

I am just trying to do this on a reasonable budget, my current scope is to keep this as a work horse or tow pig type build and not let it snowball into another expensive project.

I know since I will be going diesel I will have to swap to hydroboost. My 78 crew cab 4x4 that donated its dana 60 had hydroboost so there is a start or at least a core. Unfortunately it was a 350/th350 combo. I never thought I would be lucky enough to find a NV4500 at a price I could pay.

Thank you for your advice on this and knowledge. I really appreciate it.
