Outside of the NV standing for New Venture, I don't know the lineage of the design.
N00b from SWMO with a slightly unique setup.

I do not know. It's not uncommon for a car manufacturer to take a design, and make a few proprietary changes to make it their own.

yup. already got a nut ordered to try to fix it. atleast for now.
the more i read about it im thinking there will be a TKO600 in my future. if not that then maybe muncie but not sure if that will be strong enough.
for now just get it drivable and fix some quirks. like the speedo not working (nv4500 has electric speed sensor) and the heater isnt working.
heater started with just blowing cold air. after looking it over i think the hoses are not hooked up properly. but also i pulled out the crapily installed radio and after doing that the heater doesnt even blow air now lol. so gonna have to fix that.
then on to suspension and engine mods.
