Exactly. I test fit and checked everything when I first got it. Apparently I measured wrong. Just glad I caught it on my terms and not out in bfe.

Fubar in the area of the ice fire would suck lol. All the trips out there we've been lucky.
Got an o-ring from McMaster Carr so I don’t need a gasket anymore.
I’ve checked every possible interference multiple times! Wee looking good for sure this time haha.
Looking good indeed.
Thank you! I can’t believe how much better this shifts than the 465, even sitting on the floor. Throws are so much shorter and tighter. Plus it’ll be soooo nice having synchronized first and reverse!
That's what I tell myself every time I drive the Crawlabago.
Shhh! Don't let the non-believers know...
That Magnum looks killer on the back of the 4500.
It’s meant to be…
For sure!
Got the headers pulled and v-bands welded on finally
Full of lube and ready for install
Do you already have hydro pedals?

The NV4500 bell housing doesn’t have any provisions for the old school strut rods. I guess GM either cheaped out or did they decide they weren’t necessary? Should I drill and tap these small bosses and build a plate to attach the rods or take them off??
I do. That got done back when I did the sm465 install.
I don't have the strut rods on mine.
Trans is test fitted. Gotta fine tune the shifter opening a little bit.
Looking Good!
I don't have them either. Would be cool if you could fab something to attach them to.
