Well over the crude dump truck shifting 465, I think all NV4500’s are best. From what I have read 1992-1995 GM NV4500s are the most desirable as they have a lower granny gear…same as the 465 (6.34). I have two NV4500s, one Dodge and one GM, and both unfortunately, have the 5.61 granny which will be one of the concessions with this swap. The NV4500 being used for this swap is from a 1998 K3500. Oh, well…at least the 8.1L won’t sound like the pistons are swapping holes anymore when cruising down the highway at 70 MPH.
