In closing, I'm very satisfied with the final result. I don't think the cost was outrageous, and the results are spectacular.
My cost was as follows:
nv4500 $513
input shaft $100
retainer $50
throwout bearing and pilot bushing $25
adapter plate $75
miscelaneous bolts $12
shifter $45
fluid $125
driveshaft $180

total $1125

That's nearing twice what I originally paid for the truck, but it was well worth it.
