Drive Shafts

You will need to have your driveshaft(s) modified for length. A local driveshaft shop is usually available to do this. If necessary, we can do it, however it is better to install the unit FIRST, then measure and build/modify driveshafts

Crossmember

You may need to relocate your crossmember, this can usually be done by re-drilling the frame and bolting into the desired location. You will need to drill the crossmember for the bolts to the larger NV4500 transmission mount

Stick Shift

The NV4500 shifter comes up about 5" to the rear of where a GM SM465 or 420 4speed does. It will be necessary to cut a hole in your floorboard to accommodate the stick shift. A simple boot can be mounted over the new hole to dress this. A simple piece of sheet metal can be cut and screwed in place to cover the old hole. It is useful to seal this doen using silicone sealant.
