Sorry for not posting for a while fellas. KVAN is doing great. Since I started posting pictures of it, my work in the shop has tripled. I have a 2wd to 4wd conversion going on right now from Pennsylvania, and two Pathfinder shorty vans on the way from California and new Jersey for restorations. I don't have a lot of time to work on my stuff do to customer work.

I took the front bumper to the blaster a few days ago. Trying to get all of time his little stuff taken care of. One downfall of having a manual transmission van is I have to spend an extra 5 minutes to take the gearshift out to be able to get the engine cover off.

I was doing checks on the Ramjet 350. Checking bolts for tightness...etc..

Here are some current pictures...

Refresh my memory, is this an NV trans? Looks like the shifter placement isn't too bad? Does it feel "in the way" being in the middle compared to a side load trans where it's closer to the driver's seat?


Thanks for the great comments. Yes the trans is a NV4500 out of a 94 chevy pickup that had a 6.5 liter diesel. I can't tell you about the operation yet because I'm still putting things together.


I wanted to give you an update tuner4life on the NV4500. The shifter placement worked out great. I cus tom bent a piece of DOM with the tube shark and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. It is actually in the perfect position. With it in overdrive, it makes a perfect arm rest. I had though about putting in a gear vendors overdrive unit for an under/over splitter, but it would be to much overdrive. My RPMs are around 1800 when I'm going 70 MPH.

All in all, it is a great combo. The growl that the engine makes in 4th gear runnine about 55 is unmistakable.

Looks great and glad you are getting some work out of it. I still want you to do some work to mine so maybe next year. Thanks for keeping things posted here.

Awesome! Glad to hear that the shifter worked out! That opens up my possibilities. Might not be stuck with a side loader after all!


Your van is turning out great btw!
