NV3500 swap

[eskimomann209]

The 87 was the first year with tbi so it already has the tbi set up in it and needs a computer to run. The 87 has the 350 with a tbi in it and running already just swapping the 5 speed in. But how would I go about making the speedo work?

Yeah

How would I change it to a manual slave?

Sorry i meant clutch. Manual clutch instead of hydaulic as used in the write up.

All NV3500 are hydraulic. They are either external or internal slave.

Hydraulic clutch is the bee's knees anyways...

Okay yeah mines an external slave that I’m putting in but hoping my grandpa kept the slave cuz this is a low budget swap

Does anyone know how long the push rod is for the slave cylinder? I lost mine and do not have the budget to buy a new slave

Geez every old guy in my town keeps telling me that using an s10 transmission is impossible and weaker. They all say the shifter will end up under the seat, even when provided photographic proof. Idk why i try, to them anything to do with touching a computer is "hacking"

There are 2 differences between a full size an a s10 nv3500. The S10 has a closer ratio gear set, and it uses a 700r4 output shaft size. Everything else is the same. Now like I mentioned in 98 or 99 the shifter did move back on the trans but I believe it did that on all models not just the s10. So technically a full size is stronger because it has the 4l80 size output but I believe the s10 trans is a better choice for a sport truck with it closer gear ratios. The 1-2 drop in a full size trans is pretty extreme.
