A bit more pic whoring

[tRustyK5]

Got my new drivetrain sitting on the floor behind me. It's all bolted up to make sure everything is cool and will obviously come apart again to be installed.

NV4500/203/205 with triple stick.

Tuesday the 1410 yokes for the 205 should show up. The 203 range box and 205 were built by NorthWest Fab and I'm using their Dual T-case kit as well. The 205 was bored for the 32 spline input, rails ground for twin stick, all new bearings and seals, new billet 6061 bearing retainers, new 32 spline front output, and on tuesday will have the 1410 yokes front and rear.

I also got all my NV4500 rebuild parts through Kyle, and i needed a metric assload of hard parts I thought i was going to have a hard time finding. Big kudo's to Kyle and Jordan...they've pretty much made things a one stop shopping kind of deal.

With the clocking I've tenatively chosen it sits pretty flat on the floor, so as long as it doesn't hit the floorboards too badly I'm gonna stick with it and should have a pretty flat belly.

I have one question for the parts store guru's here. I am using an advance Adaptors bellhousing and I see a provision for a clutch slave. I know for sure it's not a Chev slave, and looking on the AA site I'm pretty sure it's set-up for a factory Jeep slave (4.0 with external slave)

My question is whether the line from a Chev clutch master will work with the Jeep slave? I have a pic of the relevant part of the bell, but I need to upload it.

Whats the wife say about that laying on the kitchen floor?

she probably says, "beef, it's what's for dinner"

It's the computer room so it's all good. It'll be on the floor for a while too, I am really busy with work right now and have to go to Wichita for 3 weeks in August...

Very cool any more pics???

 

[tRustyK5]

Yes, but photobucket seems to be down at the moment...

i'll upload a few other somewhere else and get them up.

[yellowK20]

Your NV 4500 is it a dodge or chevy??? how much was your bellhousing??

 

[tRustyK5]

Sorry about that, it wasn't photobucket that was down, our ISP had a minor meltdown. All good now.

The tranny is a '95 GM 4x4 diesel version, and the bell was around $400 I think. I'll have to double check my invoices...

A pic of the slave mounting part of the bell (if anyone recognizes the pattern)

Forgot to rotate the pic before uploading...sorry.

Almost forgot, here is a pic of during the rebuild of the NV4500.

That's a balancer of some sort hanging off the back...

Very cool I have a Dodge version so that bell houisng won't work unless I swap input shafts I may just get the Adapter plate to go from trans to a stock Gm bellhousing

Wichita as in Kansas? If so, cool. Need someplace to crash? Or will you stay there or what? Gonna fly down or drive? Have any days off between during the 3 weeks that you can stay here with me? Plenty of room and plenty of booze.

 

[ryan22re]

I thought Jeeps had internal slaves?

That may be a new one on me.

 

[jekbrown]

very nice Rene. Pretty much what I'm gonna have... except I'll have a full manual reverse VB TH400 on the front end.

Well, I'm going by what I saw on the AA site. They had a pic of a slave the very much looks like it'd work with that mount and the description said Jeep 4.0 slave. Maybe earlier years had an external slave?

sbc and NV4500 swaps into Jeeps are pretty common so it'd make some sense anyways.

Earlier 4.0's had internal slaves (which were nice and unreliable too), later (97 & up?) had external slaves.
