This gave me a good guideline for my conversion from manual clutch to hydraulics for a nv4500. My first try used the old spring pin hole with no stop and the rod bent. Used the same location as you home and a stop and I’m golden now. Thx a lot.
I'm putting an sm465 and a NP205 in my 01 k3500. I am beyond fed up with the 4L80 E. I've never had an auto in a truck before so I'm a bit biased. I tried the TCI, manual shift bs. A truck has a standard transmission, there are only two genders. I'm searching for a Dana 60 with passenger side diff as we speak. Maybe an NV4500 in the future, but I've had the 4 speed before and I never wanted anything else now that I can look back. Great build, thanks for your entertaining and informative content.
Believe the longer crank was only on 99-01 lq4's but they could have had a few 5.3l long cranks in the 2500's as well. They used the old 4l80 I think is the only difference but I'm assuming based on the motors I've pulled.
Hey what's going on? Really great video, just one question for you, what bell housing are you using? My sm465 has a different one (cast iron) than you show in your video. Any information would be much appreciated. Thank man
I have a 1970 C10 250 inline 6 with a 4 speed on the floor. I want to pull out and install LS 6.0 LQ4 to the SM465 transmission. Will the bell I currently use on my 250 work with the LS?
Is there anyway you can give me part numbers for the master cylinder and throwout bearing? And everything I’m between if possible and where you ordered it? TIA
Im 1999 6.0 ls swaping my 84 c3 dually and if im correct the 99 to 00 6.0 block and crank were ticker or smaller than the 01 to 06 6.0 ls right so what flywheel would i need to mate my 99 6.0 ls with my 84 c30 manual transmission
I really love your content however I am a TH-cam red member and have the ability to download videos to view later, my issue is your videos are so large it takes a lot of data to watch them is there an option to resize the video when you upload?
Thanks for posting this video im about to mount my sm465 to my lm7 just waiting on the clutch. I was test fitting the pilot bearing and itll fit great in the crank, but on the input shaft it seems like it will be tight. Did you run into this issue?
Dave, quick question. I noticed you have the old school OEM oil pressure on the back of the valley of your LSx in the K20. Did you just run it from there for the dash and remove the LS sending unit? Did you have them disable that in the ECU or just let it ride with no reported oil pressure? I broke the LS OEM one off while screwing around with dropping it on the hoist and had read you can just mount it there and skip the OEM LS sending unit. I'd like to do that because I was planning on running the GM oil cooler adapter on the lower port but since I noticed this on yours I figured you could smarten me up. Thanks sir!
Hey man, check out this video, I talked about it th-cam.com/video/Jf0KYDGYQqU/w-d-xo.html If it's a 1 wire the pcm don't read it anyways, it only reads the 3 wire sensor. I'm not sure it cares if you have pressure or not. I just keep it old school! Thanks for watching!
Thank you sir. I guess I should go back and watch some of your older build video's, lol. I watched a lot of the K5 ones and then missed for a while due to work and travel while you were doing the build on the k20 motor.
Mark Ashley swap your t case to a 27 splint input, get the trans adapter and sleeve for it. Driveshafts stay the same. When I made the switch to a 465 from a t350 the total length of the two combos was not even 1/2” difference.
I used this same hydraulic clutch set up and the clutch pedal is Really hard to press down. Was it easy to press the pedal in yours or is the hard pedal just a side effect of the swap?
Apparently I worded it wrong, I was trying to ask what kind of top speed is he getting with the exact setup in the video , the question was intended for the person that made the video.
Dude, why? you had the best transmission for off road work you can't beat a SM465 for pulling and crawling it has the deepest low gear of all the granny 4 speeds. I will buy all those 4 speed parts from you, i need a bell housing anyway.
I have an event with My 4x4 club on the Saturday, so I will either swing by on Friday or Sunday. I would like to check out the car show, but they don't have the schedule posted yet. What days will you be there?
No, If you have the longer crank, you wouldn't need the LS7 bearing, you could use a standard pilot bearing. You also wouldn't need the thicker flywheel. I would check pirate4x4 forums, there is good info over there.
Excellent video - thank you for sharing it. If it weren't for guys like you, I'd be struggling with parts of my build.

Awesome! Glad it worked out!

Nice...... I've done a few automatic trans to manual swaps and went from a 3 speed to a 4 speed in one.
Thank you, I've been waiting for this video man, I wanna swap my k10
No problem, I hope it helped.
Damn I live in Vegas too and man I wanna do this to my 85 c10 I wanna Ls swap but keep my manual trans

You got skills
love your video
Thanks!
Would the crank spacer used for spacing out the flex plate on older automatics to LS’s work behind a factory flywheel?
Hey what's going on? Really great video, just one question for you, what bell housing are you using? My sm465 has a different one (cast iron) than you show in your video. Any information would be much appreciated. Thank man
who tuned your pcm and did you have to have a VSS?
I need a vid of everything I need to convert my 10 bolt front from 6 lug to 8 lug.
Hubs, rotors, caliper plate, most of that is hard to find unless you pick up an 8lug 10bolt.
What master/slave you using
Where did the bell housing come from? I'm thinking about a LS1 swap in my CJ and want the SM465 as well.
Hey what fittings did you use on the end of the tilton pump I'm trying to make mine work
I have a 1970 C10 250 inline 6 with a 4 speed on the floor. I want to pull out and install LS 6.0 LQ4 to the SM465 transmission. Will the bell I currently use on my 250 work with the LS?
Thank you
Is there anyway you can give me part numbers for the master cylinder and throwout bearing? And everything I’m between if possible and where you ordered it? TIA
Did you have to get custom driveshafts with the 465 moving the set up forward?
Im 1999 6.0 ls swaping my 84 c3 dually and if im correct the 99 to 00 6.0 block and crank were ticker or smaller than the 01 to 06 6.0 ls right so what flywheel would i need to mate my 99 6.0 ls with my 84 c30 manual transmission
You should make a video of the k10 since u swap the auto in make a test drive video
I definitely will. Hopefully I will have my drivelines back today or tomorrow.... Waiting ever so unpatiently.....
Anyone have any info for mating a 5.7 TBI Roller Cam Vortec to a SM450 NP205? Thanks in advance.
I really love your content however I am a TH-cam red member and have the ability to download videos to view later, my issue is your videos are so large it takes a lot of data to watch them is there an option to resize the video when you upload?
Thanks Joe!. I'm not sure but I will look into it.
Check out FFMPeg, this gives you the flexibility to do that on your own.
Can I swap my k5 6.2 diesel with a 700r4 to this transmission?
Thanks for posting this video im about to mount my sm465 to my lm7 just waiting on the clutch. I was test fitting the pilot bearing and itll fit great in the crank, but on the input shaft it seems like it will be tight. Did you run into this issue?
No issues on mine.
Hey Dave did you have to move the crossmember forward at all for the trans I have about a 3/4” gap between bellhousing n 5.3
Yes, Mine did have to come forward about an inch or so if I recall.
Thanks appreciate it
No problem!

Is there any reason why you switched to a hydro slave cylinder? Is there a need to get rid of the factory rod to throw out bearing?
I went with it for simplicity and so the linkage wouldn't bind while wheelin and flexing the truck out.
So why did you switch over for an auto? Just less to deal with when crawling?
Yeah, that manual was a pain. Tough as nails but a pain!
What all I got to do to go from a m s465 to a th350 205 transfer
Mark Ashley swap your t case to a 27 splint input, get the trans adapter and sleeve for it. Driveshafts stay the same. When I made the switch to a 465 from a t350 the total length of the two combos was not even 1/2” difference.
Anyway you could share where you got the heim joint from? Or the thread patted on the plunger from the master?
What the hell did you do for drivelines im having hell of a time
Had new ones made at my local driveline shop.
I used this same hydraulic clutch set up and the clutch pedal is Really hard to press down. Was it easy to press the pedal in yours or is the hard pedal just a side effect of the swap?
I think it hard because of the 7/8 master cylinder. I believe a 3/4 would be easier to press down.
do i need same part i am look put a 350 vortec in my78 k10
You will need a different flywheel.
What kinda of top speed am I looking at with that transmission?
That absolutely does nothing to answer the question.
@@christianbonacci depends on power, gearing, tire size, and to much more to give an answer to that. Ball park? 50-120MPH’S.. 🤣🤣
Apparently I worded it wrong, I was trying to ask what kind of top speed is he getting with the exact setup in the video , the question was intended for the person that made the video.
Dude, why? you had the best transmission for off road work you can't beat a SM465 for pulling and crawling it has the deepest low gear of all the granny 4 speeds. I will buy all those 4 speed parts from you, i need a bell housing anyway.
I like the auto better for crawling, not a big fan of clutching all day on the trail. I have a manual bell housing.
Sm420 has lower granny 7:1 ratio
are you going to ls fest west?
I have an event with My 4x4 club on the Saturday, so I will either swing by on Friday or Sunday. I would like to check out the car show, but they don't have the schedule posted yet. What days will you be there?
MrWhitels1 all 3 days I will be in Vegas but don't think I will spend all of them at ls fest
Also if you like wheelin maybe you could come along on Saturday and get the full K10 Experience. I only have 1 seat though.
MrWhitels1 I emailed you
MrWhitels1 I emailed you
7:09 don’t you mean pilot bearing. Oh wait you corrected yourself the second time. Lol
Question for you brother, putting a 5.3 in my k20 with a sm465 as far as the harness goes can I cut all the trans connections? What about the vss?
I didn’t use VSS with my sm465, was fine.
how much do stickers cost?
Free to Subscribers... You subscribed? :)
Yep been a couple years
Cool man! Send me your info to dave@carburetorssuck.com and I will get you a sticker.
Do you know exactly what the throw out bearing came out of?
It's an aftermarket Howe part number 82870 and remote bleeder kit 8782
Does it work with the lq4 6.0 with the longer crank .400 .
No, If you have the longer crank, you wouldn't need the LS7 bearing, you could use a standard pilot bearing. You also wouldn't need the thicker flywheel. I would check pirate4x4 forums, there is good info over there.
Is the clutch you used a 12" or 11"?
Joey Knutson I used the stock 12 inch from my 85 k20. You can also use the clutch from the 2000s truck the flywheel comes from
I would like to use the clutch for a 2000's after doing more research. Then you just use the pilot bearing for the 2000's truck, correct?
