There is, you just missed it. In the first string of images you can see the differences between the two propshafts. Also the measurement is stated for the driveshaft, "You need to get your stock driveshaft shortened by 3.25” as the trans itself is 3.25” longer."

You know what that means? YOU SHOULD BE KEEPIN IT!!! 😂😂

Been a good while since I've posted an update on here so here goes. To start off, I tore apart the front end, removing the center support and fenders. Once I finished that up, I pulled the engine out. This was my first time pulling an engine, and I was pretty proud of my bonehead self being...

Damn, glad that officer is alright.

Adam, are you still in Nevada? If you really need a front propshaft right now, I can come run it up to you this coming weekend. Its for an 80E not a 700r4 setup though.

Like @gmemony2 Mentioned Ozzie has made new crossover tubes, I cannot remember if he mentioned the material. However, the price he has them going for is $350 without paint. With paint its another $150.

There are 4.3 Exhaust manifolds on Ebay, a couple people on the facebook group said the fitment was fine. I have yet to buy them myself and test fit them, so take that with a grain of salt. They are $356 on the Ebay post I'm seeing here. I think Erick Tinn on Facebook mentioned a while ago that...

I think that 0-60 was worse than a good running NA 4.3 hahaha

Absolutely fantastic build thread. I'm very glad to see you've got the truck up and running! Great work.

The line you have outlined, is the Oil drain line so the black tube coming from the bottom of the Turbo moves oil back down through that line into the oil pan.

The locking center cap bolts I'm unfortunately unaware if you can get them from McGard or not. Read over this post here. The first post in that link pretty much lays out exactly what you need to do to get the wheel lock key.

Heres what I went with for a stock rebuild. I feel, personally, that its overbuilt for stock horsepower. But might be exactly what you're looking for if you wanna go stock and don't want to worry about the engines internals.

LMC truck has a front grille, that is as close as you can get to original. The color is black on black. Unfortunately a huge pinecone fell an destroyed my front grille. I installed the one from LMC, the average person wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Sy/Ty owners might be able to tell...

This post is for the engine parts that I used for the internals. I had some help from a local engine builder to assemble this together. This was my first time doing something like this so, I hope I made zero mistakes. I'll upload pictures of the assembly later on.

Another update, here is what I ended up doing to extend the support bar from the transfer-case to the 80E Bellhousing. First time welding something for the truck up. So I know the welds might not look great, but they should hold up fine. Also, not pictured is the steel spacers I made for the end...

Meant to post this in Sightings, sorry about that- moving it over.

Remove post.

Check out this post here @Eggstream makes beautiful A arms for these trucks.

Quick little update here, got the 4L80E, torque converter (2800 stall) adapter plate and Transfercase together. I'm now working on extending the support bracket from the bellhousing to the transfercase. Shouldn't be too long here before I get the support bracket done, and I move on to installing...

Better late then never haha
