Where'd you get that information?
No S-10 ever came with the NV4500. The NV4500 is a HD (big) transmission for 3/4 & 1-ton applications. They are the transmissions that replaced the SM465 4-sp from the 3/4 & 1-ton trucks & added an OD gear. They were pu in behind the cummins diesel on dodge trucks & the big block & 6.5 TD in GM products. They can handle about 450 hp & 500 lb-ft in stock trim.
An NV3500 is a good candidate for this swap, but it's limit is about 250 hp/300 lb-ft. They did come in the S-10, but I'm not sure what years.
Also, the NV4500 has a separate bellhousing, whereas the NV3500 has an integral bellhousing.
