Also, just your general feeling on how happy (or not) you were with the final outcome and if you would you do it again (or already did). Maybe even some comments on how you use the truck (daily driver or 1/4 mile, etc.). Much appreciated!! I'm never going back to SM465 unless i'm towing a house. I have 3.08 gears right now which makes it even worse.

What did your nv3500 come out of and how did you do your speedometer?
Thanks[/QUOTE]


Mines out of a 98? C1500. It's the later model with no clutch fork. It would probably be easier to swap the older ones without the hydraulic TOB, but IMO the clutch pedal is nicer on the new ones.


I'm using a 2012 nexus 7 tablet mounted in place of my factory speedo that uses GPS for speedo and gets the rest of the engine information from my megasquirt fuel injection using this app.
