4l60 with the factory np241? Not a hundred percent on the number but it's factory from a suburban. Keeping the factory rear, going solid axle up front. No reason you couldn't use the ifs tho

Ran into some issues at the house, finishing up some repairs and hopefully back at it sometime this week.

Do itttttt lol. I hope to have it running and tuned by next weekend. Cannot wait

I don't know why the pics keep changing sideways? Anyways she's not pretty yet but soon she will be.

MOTOR IS IN !!! Got her pretty clean Header clearance is gonna be awesome, used the manifolds for a quick reference. Clearance between the manifold and firewall are awesome

Update: The weather killed me yesterday, wasn't able to get to exactly where I wanted. The hose fwas frozen so I couldn't finish cleaning and painting the motor. But, the engine mounts are welded and painted. Oil pan was removed and cleaned, all gaskets were done. Boring stuff. I'll have pics...

Holy balls that thing probably moves. I plan to run a simple plate between the mounts. Should be sufficient, I hope lol

That would be wicked. This rig is gonna be a part time overlander so the 4l60 is gonna be easier.

Yessir, my original plan was an nv3500 and np241 case. I'm holding off to see how I like the auto, and like I said my wife can now drive it more comfortably

I also should mention, I have a 3" body lift. And while it's def possible to do this without one, it makes it a little easier.

So the motors go as follows: LS1 - 5.7 aluminum block, aluminum heads,car intake and accessory drive LQ9 - 6.0 iron block, aluminum heads, truck intake and accessory drive LQ4 - 5.3 iron block, aluminum heads, truck intake and accessory drive There are also drive by wire and Drive by cable...
