How I did 5.3 to nv3500 5 speed

What, is, the difference between the throw out bearing listed....than the stock 3500 throw out bearing? I have read you can use the stock one. Just wanna double check before I mate 5.3 and 3500

I'm still using the stock throw out bearing.

Ill take that as a confirmation. Thanks bro

Has anyone had problems with the trans cross member lining up...... Do I just drill new bolt holes?

I'm pretty sure we used the stock throw out bearing when we swapped a 6.0 into my 92 k1500. I had the same issue with the pilot bearing though....could only find it at NAPA.

What year was your 6.0. I have a 1991 350 you k1500 with an nv3500 5spd and want to go ls swap. And want to use my same transmission

As long as you don't have the 1999-2000 6.0 with the long crank yours will bolt right up.

Sorry for the late chime in on this topic, but I just joined the forum. I am looking for info on mating a L96 6.0L out of a 2011 2500 to an nv3500 in a 1998 rcsb. Anyone know if the parts #s listed above would apply?

I kept my stock clutch and pressure plate.. Sachs 1050 flywheel on my 6.0/nv4500 combo and my clutch pedal is too stiff and feels like it has a catch in it....

if you're doing an LS engine to a NV3500, all you had to do was look at my build thread. 4.8 flywheel & clutch kit bolted right on to my 5.3. been running 16,000mi with no problems whatsoever

Where is your build thread?
