1987 R20 Suburban LQ4 4L80E swap

I have posted several threads all over this forum asking questions regarding my swap and want to say thanks again for the answers.
Truck is an all stock 1987 3/4 ton 2wd Suburban that originally came with a TBI 454 th400 combo. The engine looks like it was replaced at one time as I have seen an ATK badge stamped to the bottom of the motor. The 454 is tired and worn out and needs to go. This is my daily driver and I drive about 75 miles a day round trip to work so I need this to be reliable.
My parts:
2004 LQ4 with about 105,000 miles complete with all accessories
Standalone harness and ECU
Gas pedal and TAC unit
Rebuilt 4L80E transmission
Slip yoke for 4L80E
All of this was ordered from LSX4U and should be here on Thursday.

I won't bore everyone with all the little odds and ends but my parts list includes:
Entropy LSX swap radiator with fans and dual fan control kit
Dakota digital instrument cluster
Dirty dingo slider mounts, new stock clamshells
Hooker LS swap exhaust manifolds
Walbro 255 Lph fuel pump
Corvette regulator/filter
Russell steel braided fuel lines/fittings for fuel lines and trans cooler lines
Specter air intake
Dirty dingo high mount A/C compressor bracket
Sadden 508 A/C Compressor
Dirty dingo power steering hose adapter
Dirty dingo billet ECU mount
Lokar shift linkage
Lokar transmission fluid dipstick

I plan on starting this next week and am allowing two months to get this done.
I figure one month to get everything installed and another month to sort out any problems that are sure to arise.
Will keep everyone posted on progress and will post once I get started.
