Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

Also got the 6l90 and engine back in the frame and mounted down now. The trans shop had a hard time with the 6l80 changing it over lol. They had a "donor" transmission given to them laying around and they had believed it was a 6l80e setup. Well they called me up and said the output shaft is too big lol. I went over eyeballed it counted teeth and told well yeah of course it won't work!!!!! It is the wrong transmission lol. They then told me what the "donor trans" came from. Well to make it a long story shortened. I now have a 6l90e rebuilt with new clutches new reverse drum and all assundry hardware for 1500$..... Much cheaper then junkyard diving for one then having to rebuild it lol. Got it installed and looked at the trans pan way off level by almost 15 degrees so broke out some plate scraps and spaced the trans to where it is level. Going to be working on the driveshaft soon and will make the corrections in how the driveshaft angles to help level the driveline out some. Will go back later with a aluminum block machined for the sapcing needed and make it solid all the way across the mount setup.
