I'm new to this forum and was wondering maybe if I could get a couple questions answered. I'm swapping out all my stock drivetrain and installing an LS6 that I found cheap on craigslist, also want the manual tranny GM NV4500.
-How well do these two components mate with each other? What special considerations will I have to take with mounting, flywheel, clutch, ect?
-The engine I'm looking at buying doesn't have a computer, wire harness, or any front assesories like pulleys, pumps, etc. If i go to a junk yard looking for these parts what vehicle would work best for me? I'll probably end up buying a new computer, getting it flashed, etc, also new wiring harness, but all the assesories ect..
-I'm sure my wire harness will have plugs that need to go to the transmission, or if I call them and tell them what tranny I have maybe they will set up my harness different, but is there any electrical plug-ins on the NV4500?
I'm in the military so I have a pretty tight budget so I'm trying to do this swap on a seriously cheap budget, junk yards would be my best bet for finding things I need, I just don't know what I'm looking for, will a stock 5.7L V-8's assesories work and bolt up on the LS6.
If I could just get some guidence about what exactly I'm getting myself into that would be awesome, thanks guys...
