5.3ls trans options?

[MaroFever1]

Ive heard the nv3500 can take alot of abuse but that's gonna be tough cause I am known to give it hell time to time lol. I haven't ever taken the truck to the track and only run street tires. No plans for anything radical till its ready. For now I just want to get by while I save for a T56.

Thanks for the info.

You can use the your 5 speed with the 5.3. That is exactly what i am using. read through this thread. http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/lsx-t...peed-swap.html

I had my nv3500 behind a 430 hp 383 before the 5.3 and it worked fine. The only thing bad about that tranny you can't powershift.

I've read that thread but just read it again. I think mine is going to be pretty simple, being an 88 no abs, no extra stuff.
