Converting a Auto to a NV4500

I have a 91 for a sled pulling truck and it has an auto in it. i just recently found a nv4500 for a good price and want to change it over. will the back plate on the engine and the bell housing on the tranny bolt up?? Will the transfer case bolt up to the NV4500??

Your going to need a bell housing adapter for a NV4500, the current one is too thin, flywheel and clutch of course.

Your also going to have to get a NP205 out a manual trans application with the 29 spline input shaft, auto's have a 23 spline input shaft.

I found all the parts I needed for auto to manual swap on craigslist. Advance adaptors has the nv4500 adaptor, or like many have done on here, you can modify the bellhousing to work.
