Hey guys, another newbie question...
I currently have an '83 K10 with an aftermarket 350 mated to an A833 OD transmission. It's a good combo, but I'm always looking for options.
I have a few decent salvage yards around here, and I am confident that I can find all the components to an A833 to NV3500 swap, if it's a practical!
The A833 is operated currently by a mechanical (non-hydraulic) clutch.
- can the NV3500 be operated mechanically or only hydraulically?
I assume the NV3500 can be bolted up to the 350's existing bolt pattern, right?
I can't recall which transfer case I have (assume it's stock) but will there be matching challenges there?
I'm sure I will have more questions, but this a start as I go down that rabbit hole of a thought exercise.
Thanks!
Mike
