question number 1: how do you tell the year of a 350 chevy?
second qustion if I do find a nv 5600 for my blazer where do how do I go about mounting it on the back of a 350 chevy?
 
Answers:

1 - There is a number stamped on the back of the block(drivers side where the bellhousing bolts too)and also a stamp on the pass side front deck ledge. You can decode a block on www.mortec.com with those.

2 - No idea
 
I have searched for a while out of curiosity , and can find bellhousings and adapters for nv4500's but not nv5600's . I would call advance adapters and see if they plan on one , or if one is available but isn't in their catalogue yet :xmas:
 
Man, that NV5600 is one BIG transmission. :yikes: I'd hate to see what it took to get it under one of our trucks. :grind: :weld: :hack: :hack: :hack:
 
For a lighter (but still strong) 6 speed that should bolt up look for the ZF S6-650 6 speed manual from a '01 or newer HD pick-up. The Chevy's never got the NV5600.

The ZF was the standard tranny behind the 8.1 and the D-max. The 8.1 should be the same bell pattern as a small block.

I'm hoping to put one behind my 6.2 diesel. The closer ratios and overdrive would be a huge improvement.

Why do you want an NV5600? Dodge are the only guys that used it and only because of the mighty cummins. I would go for an NV4500 or the newer HD tranny like trusty said before I would try and bolt in that monster.
 
The ZF is only about 25 lbs haevier than the NV4500.


Ratios are:

1rst...5.79:1
2nd....3.31:1
3rd....2.10:1
4th....1.31:1
5th....1.00:1
6th....0.73:1 (some sites list 6th as 0.76:1)

reverse is 5.23:1

It's burly enough to be also used in the medium duty trucks GM sells.
