Hello all, this is my build thread for swapping out my NV3500 (swapped out the auto a few years ago) with new Tremec TKO. Attached are a couple pics of the new parts just sitting in the garage ready to worked on. Below is a parts list that I have ready to go, I'm sure little things will come up, but thanks to Jmaack's good information, I will be able re-use ALOT of OEM parts (Flywheel, clutch pressure plate, starter, slave cyl, TO bearing, pivot arm, etc..)
Current part read for install:
-New Ford Tremec TKO 600 2.87 1st, .68 OD, 7.21" Input shaft length
-Modified Bell housing - needed 4 tapped holes and a press fit index ring (Bell is from an 04' 2wd Ram 2500 - NV5600 w/Hemi)
-12" Chevy Clutch Disc - Dual Friction CF - 1-1/8" x 26 spline
-Aftermarket Pilot bearing w/ modified housing OD
-slip yoke
Still Need:
-Driveshaft
-Shifter stick/knob
-center console
-transmission mount/cross member mod
More info and pics to come
