I've never added it all up I've spent so much money on this truck i try not to think about it. Let's see 600 for the trans 80 for the flywheel they gave me the clutch and pressure plate with it and it looked good so I used it I know I should have got a new one but I have to save money somewhere. 50 to get the flywheel neutrally balanced to Match my engine plus 20 for odds and ends I was able to use my clutch linkage cross member and stock driveshaft so about 750 for everything.
that is sweet! I have an FE so I am a bit stuck as to what trans I can use! but that is a good price! I have sunk about 4 grand into my engine, so I am looking for a trans swap that will compliment my engine!

if you have a 460 in it then any tranny for a 460 will work ford used that engine for 30 years i just put in a 5 speed zf transmission from a 1995 f350 in my 1967 f250 it bolted right up to my 1970 460 engine. No its not a direct bolt in but not too much work i had to modify my crossmember and linkage and have have some flywheel work done but i think its worth it

Most of the companies selling the NV4500 have the Gasoline version used by Dodge and Chevy trucks which have the proper Input shaft, and it is very easy to just use the 11 inch Chevy clutch, and it will bolt right on! Read the swap link it is all in there. Anaheim Gear in Anaheim CA, Offers the NV4500 set up for the swap with the proper input shaft for $1550 that includes a one year warranty, and a beefed up 5th gear if you get the later models you have to use a digital speedo, but if you use the Pre 95 trans then it is just a matter of having speedo cable made up... Don't nay say if you have not done the research! Anaheim Gear supplies gear parts to Curry Rear ends which is only a few blocks away! they are a very reliable source for parts.. Just do a little google searching !
Don't nay say if you haven't dpne the research... problem is, I have done the research, and the swap more than once. I don't bother reading swap threads most of the time, as most of the time (and it doesn't matter where you read the swap thread) they're wrong. The only real way to know is to get off your hind end and do it. BTW, I'm looking at it from the junkyard perspective, and no, a chevy clutch doesn't bolt right up, you use a chevy disc and a ford pressure plate.
