Please excuse my ignorance in advance, the light digging I did didn't come up with any information in regards to an actual swap conversation. Sorry again to be the new guy asking about threads that probably already exist.
Currently purchasing the following:
1) JBG NV4500 Complete swap kit
2) Extra Capacity main tank (non EFI) with filler hose
So I've literally just clicked the go button on JBG for the complete NV4500 swap kit. I can't help but believe that the kit will lack small, yet necessary items, regardless of the "everything you need" stamp of approval. I know I'll have to order a drive shaft once its in and I can get a measurement, I don't want to buy one while the trannys still in the mail. Chuck, not sure if you remember or not, but I gave you a call earlier in the week in regard to this matter, still gotta wait and see about the flywheel but the folks at WH and JBG told me I should be fine with the one thats in it; won't know till its tore down. I want to order the replacement tunnel cover for the NV4500 from WH but am skeptical how it actually mates up on my truck once the tranny's in, as opposed to cutting up some metal and welding it myself once its in. As for the tank, not sure if I have any doubts or not, but I have a 10 gal fuel cell bed-mounted and this bad girl takes octane so I need more capacity. Basically gentlemen, all I'm asking is if you've dealt with the installation process of either of these, and any hiccups you may have had or things you wish you had bought or known prior to. Thanks so much in advance gentlemen, any input is gold. And if you haven't done so today, thank God you're an American.
