    fj60 engine upgrade question. gen v

    the 5.3 im looking at doesn't have a transmission with it but if I go that route and do auto I would probably look for the 6 speed that came in the 2014 truck with the original engine. in texas and I have it registered with antique plates so I don't even have to do an inspection to get it tagged.

    fj60 engine upgrade question. gen v

    true. I am sure not opposed to an automatic just wasn't sure how big a deal it was to change the inside shifter. im sure the clutch pedal can just be removed and maybe I could see how others have done the shifter setup for the gm auto.

    fj60 engine upgrade question. gen v

    I think I will either pursue the 6bt option or look for a gen 3 engine. the gen v I found just seemed like a pretty good buy with the low mileage but it may create more issues then it is worth.

    did you do the conversion on the 6bt and nv4500? any idea what the approx. cost is for the adapter needed for this setup? and my nv4500 is 2wd but seems like the transmission guy said he could convert it fairly easily.

    fj60 engine upgrade question. gen v

    hey that is a great thought. I actually have two nv4500 from dodge work trucks that we have owned. I need to ck with the guy that does our transmission work again and see if it can be changed to work with the chevy engine. I also have a h55f but have not been able to out source the bearings...
