Im back. After getting back to work and remodeling a house completely, losing my father going through Covid and the crazy twists and turns of life I am getting back to ol'skool. The 383 we stabbed in the truck with a TH350 is not working out the way the wife wanted. After a few trips in it we decided that we wanted a robust power plant with an automatic transmission that can handle freeway driving and towing!!!!! Ill get to the towing part later. Most important is a reliable power plant that is not to crazy in power yet can be fun to drive and get some decent mileage. We picked up an LQ9 with a 4L80E. So the swap begins. I have been doing a little research here and there and have decided that their has got to be at least 100 different directions to go. As always I am open to suggestions, such as motor mounts. transmission crossmember, oil pans, wiring harness, radiators, and all the incidentals. I know this sounds crazy but why doesnt anyone make a full kit for these trucks? Oh well on to doing some research.
