Will the 360 bolt up to the nv3500. I didnt think there was any difference between the 318 and 360 but they never put a 360 in a half ton with the 3500 tranny. And would the 3500 hold up, its going to be a built 360 round about 450-475 hp

 

nv3500 wasn't designed to handle more than 300 hp

 

Ft/lbs, not hp.

Mine has been taking 440ish ft/lbs on boost for ~30,000 miles now.

 

The 360's only came with a standard transmission in the 3/4 trucks, and even then they got tge nv4500 not the nv3500

 

Yea but the clutch was the same size and the bolt pattern was the same size. Yes an nv3500 will bolt behind a 360. I was just letting the OP know that the 3500 wasn't designed to take the power he will be putting in front of it. He'd be better of with a nv4500

 

^^^ If he want's towing capability and HD truck-like strength. But the more car-like ratio gaps of a 3500 make it more comfortable to drive and more fun in a hot rod application.

Well im going to see what happens with the 3500 it needs a clutch too so i think im going to get the centerforce dual friction, i have heard nothing but good about them

 

Disagree. The NV3500 isn't car-like at all. The NV4500 is actually better ratio-wise, besides the granny 1st which you wont use unloaded on the street anyways. Neither are meant to have the gears slammed though.

 

would a nv3500 from a 5.9 bolt to a 4.7 , im asking bc i have a 4.7 but due to a leak my nv 3500 is toast and i need a donar trans
