I'm think about swapping the auto to a manual in a '96 360 1500. Will the NV 3500 from a 3.9L swap the to 5.2L or 5.9L that has an automatic? I am mostly interested in the "direct fit" of the bell and transmission. It seems that there are more manual trucks in the JY that have a 3.9L.

I already understand that the flywheel, crank sensor and PCM would need to be changed and flashed.

I found an outfit that told me that they could flash the PCM so that missing torque converter would not throw a code.

Thanks
