Close brush with death?! What happened?
I don't need anything right now. I'm sure I'll be able to think of a few things though LOL. Just came to see how ppeople were doing and what new projects have come about in the LT1 section.

Had a gall bladder infection that went out of control. They removed it and the infection. Now it's recovery time. Also killed my LS1 engine with a bad lean nitrous setup.
Dang man that's pretty rough. I got my tranny in place today. The clutch master cylinder, hydraulic line, pedal assembly, and all that is in place also. My truck being a 4x4, I have yet to put on the transfer case. This is where I have a little holdup. The 4L60E and NV3500 I put in have different output shafts, the one on the NV3500 is bigger and has more splines. I have the transfer case that was mated to the NV3500 (NP241) and the one that has always been in my truck, the NP243. I need to swap the shafts between the cases, I'm pretty sure they are interchangeable. Any idea where I could find some diagrams or anything to go about this?

I'd call around for an adapter coupler first. Drive train Specialists, specialties or something like that might have just what you're looking for.
Redheart,
Just for my sick mind, how much you sprayed on ur LS1?
Dudes, Can any one tune a LT1 96 around here that can help me with one?
The new engines hasn't even sniffed the funny gas yet. The old engine took a 200 shot about 8 times before she finally gagged on it and died.
You're hauling arse in that truck. I just looked at your times.
As for the adaptor, the case bolts right up, same bolt pattern and identical housings. The input shafts on the transfer cases just need to be swapped.
I had the same issue swapping transfer cases on my 6.5L deisel to a suburban transfer case. Mine was dead so something had to be done. It had a much larger input shaft on 6.5 xfer case vs. the 5.7L case so I had to swap the input shaft. If I could have found an adapter I would have been happy to pay the money for it instead of having to totally disassemble two units to make one good usable unit.

Yeah, that is exactly what I need to do. Even if there was an adaptor, I cannot afford it. This is a good opportunity to learn a little about transfer cases anyway. I just need to find some diagrams or info.
What year and model of transfer cases?

The one is a 1996 NP243 and the other is a NP241, probably 91-95ish.
which one is going in to the truck?

I ended up going to see my buddy at the local Chevy dealership today. He hooked me up with a 1997 manual that covers both the 241 and 243.

Cool. I was getting ready to have to break out the digital camera and take some pics of my manuals for you.
Yeah I lucked out LOL.
Got it done and drove it. It's pretty cool. Input shaft seal was leaking though so I pulled the trans out and changed it to today. I will finish it and drive it again tomorrow.
Over a year later, here's an update lol. Pics of the truck...

Sorry, forgot to mention those engine compartment pics are from before I finished the wiring. It is all in black loom now and looks pretty much factory. All the gauges and features other than the AC work like factory as well. I'd like to get some AC lines made and figure out how to get the AC working.
not so much, just greg knows his stuff theres no reason in someone else trying to help once he starts talkin he's full of usefull info :thumb: like a damn GM encyclopedia :lol:Quote:
