Nice job with the swap. Whichever engine you go with, i'd strongly recommend spending the extra and getting a 4L80E if you go 4 speed auto. You can also go with a turbo 400, which will bolt up to the LS easily. The 4L60 you'd get with most junkyard pulled drivetrains won't last with the heavy axles and tires and probably the use you will be doing with the truck. Looking forward to seeing how this goes

Outstanding Guys! I am doing the same build with an '86. Much slower pace than you. School teachers don't make much! Do a 4l80e manual reverse valve body. Diy4X is great! Been piecing mine together for the last year.

We are leaning towards a 6L80e

I have a lifted '79 Scottsdale short bed. I hope your ride isn't too rough and does flex. I am betting you will want to take more springs out. Thanks for the video.
@BustedKnuckleVideo7 жыл бұрын
It seems to be pretty soft and flexy right now. The longer springs really help
