i don't know, but it's an intresting thought

 

I was thinking about doing a sbc 350 swap into my 97 half ton ram. I know I will have to fab some motor mounts and stuff but will the 350 bolt up to my dodge nv3500? And could I do an efi live or Holley EFI system instead of a factory Chevy throttle body and computer?

I know This is the wrong place for this but I thought maybe somebody one here has tried or done this. My reasoning for this is it is a lot cheaper for parts and to build.

 

lol now that's funny. I beat you at your own post.

 

How does that work? Lol

 

The forum gets confused on occasion....... What's really funny is, quoting the persons post below you.... and answering it.

I was considering doing an LSx swap...... grabbing engine, trans, and t-case from a donor, and dropping it into the dodge. Trouble is, most of the gauges, especially on the 98 and up trucks, get their cues from the PCM.... the GM unit won't have a clue about that.

 

Would the 350 bolt up to the nv3500 or is the bolt pattern different between the dodge and Chevy? Also i would get a Chevy computer and stuff if I had to.

 

No, you would have to get a different trans as well. Or, see if someone makes an adapter plate.

 

i'm sure there is an adapter plate. nv3500 is a pretty common transmission. and a chevy 350 is as common as a motor as you can get.

 

I looked for a few minutes but didn't find any adapter plates for a dodge nv3500 to a 350. Does anybody know of anywhere to look?

 

after a little bit of searching i think that some older 80s model chevys came with 350's and nv3500's i don't know if that helps but maybe you don't need an adapter and thats why you couldn't find one.
