Gotcha...but half the price?

Yep! He just posted it on FaceBook!
The gears are nice, but there is, or starting to be anyways, a (small) market for transmission swaps. The A440 is okay stock, but several of us diesel boys have modded our 1HDT's now, and the transmission is a very weak link now. Even the stock 5 speeds are apprently have clutch slippage issues after modifying turbos and fuel input.
So something more robust, with a lower first gear, would be "the cats meow".
Does anyone know of any NV4500's that have been swapped into an 80?

A couple... one member in Canada that put one behind a 6bt cummins diesel comes to mind.

Here I is, rolll out the red carpet!
The NV4500HD (HD for the diesel version of it) is a great trans.
Until around 97 they kept first gear a granny low, and its got a overdrive fifth (.73) to keep the revs sane for highway and a low revving diesel engine.
Ill post a link to an old thread in a minute here... This will have a couple pictures, but I used a split case and an AA adapter to the NV4500. I had a part time converted case and an a440 with a custom torque converter before, but sold the trans and t-case to help pay for the AA adapter.

The only thing I dont like is the cost of oil for the NV

Nice build. Now to wait for the leprechauns to show up with a bellhousing adapter for an NV4500 to 1HDT.

I just spoke to them and I will have to side with Dusty's comment below. Not looking like it's happening, but twist an arm or two if need be.
Drove a 5.3l/4L60/NP203/split case 80 today. I have no idea why any body would screw around with 2k worth of 3:1 or a supercharger. This thing had way more performance than a supercharged 1fz and real 4:1 and 2:1.
Because some of us are purists....

And by purists you mean slow when you want to go fast and fast when you want to go slow?

I've been thinking for this for a while and just decided to pull the 6.2 diesel/700R4/np 203 out of my 84 suburban. Then a AA to add a split case and in it goes..... hopeful start time will be Jan. 2013
