Nice truck. Thats about how I want the one I'm doing to set when I'm done. In the 4x4 section DirtyLarry put a NV4500 in his. Search it out.

You will find that it is a matter of removing bolts and installing bolts. I did the swap on my truck a couple years ago and love it. I went from an SM465 to NV4500 so I already had the clutch pedal, but it is a very easy swap.

You will need a different transfer case, or at least change the input splines if your going to use your current tcase. The manual/ turbo 400 have a different spline count than the 700r4.
