NV4500 swap finished... video

Heres a vid of the truck. As usual nothing crazy, no burnouts, etc., just mainly some driving around and makin a little noise.

If you just want to hear it run hard through the gears and stop the video, skip ahead to around 6:15, thats where I think the camera captured the best sound.

Looking back on it it really wasn't that bad. Its nice to have a helper when you are installing the NV4500. It was well worth the effort involved.

I think I'll leave the 180 pump for quite some time, I doubt I'll ever want to make so much power that the 180 pump can't provide enough fuel.

I didn't watch the whole video, just wanted to see it drive, but what are you going to do with the automatic column? Can you just remove the gear selector, or do you have to replace the column?

I'm just gonna leave it... its not really in the way. If I wanted I have the column from the donor truck to swap in at some point. I'm not sure if you can remove just the gear selector.
