I have a SM465 that was rebuilt in 2006. I was going to run it in my FJ40 but decided to go with a TH350. The transmission is sitting with no fluid in it ready for fluid and to be hooked up. It does have a NP205 t-case on it that was also rebuild along with it. Cost me a pretty good penny for it when i bought it and then got it rebuilt. Looking to get 500 for it but is always an OBO.

Thanks:cheers:
 
I've been looking into the NV4500 can anyone compare for me? If its an automatic (wouldn't figure as he has gone to the TH350) please just let me know.

On a side note my brother has the TH350 (turbo I think) in his 85 Xcab pickup behind a 350 and he loves it! You should be happy!
 
Yes im happy with my th350... wouldn mind a th400 with a shift kit but i deal with what i got for now. the difference between the nv4500 and sm465 is a 5th gear in the nv4500... there is a downside in my opinion to a nv4500 and that is they are really long they are sometime hard to get in the tranny hump and crossmemeber. there is also a slight gear ratio difference and i cant remember it off my head.
 
The TH350 in the 85 pickup has a slap shift kit. The guy that put it in builds drag cars so I guess he figured it would be cool.

So the SM465 doesn't have a fifth gear or its not an over drive gear, sry for the confusion.

nope its a tranny first gear then 3 more after that. Really good for crawling along with its simialr tranny the sm420. The nv4500 is the best option but they are a little more spendy then i have for just an OD.

Yeah, but if I'm putting the 383 in there to help with fun and towing some distance I want the overdrive :). Probably why I didn't know much about the SM465.
