Spent some more money yesterday and ordered an FTI 3200 stall converter for the 4l80 thats being built and a winters sidewinder shifter. It felt great... nope.

Bolted some pieces of flair on today to make myself feel better..

Can @padernokitchenware and @winters_performance shifters exist peacefully side by side? Nobody knows....

Gapped the NGK TR6 plugs to just under 0.030", chucked them in and mocked up the wires and the header. I was smart this time and got booties for the wires lol.

Yaya, I have the same one for the turbo 350 in the land cruiser. Works really well to manually shift an automatic transmission and it's one thing I really missed when I was driving the Chevy.

The column shifter is vague af and its super annoying lol.

Got an adjustable thermostat housing, 180* thermostat, and a torque converting device today. Tranny will be ready on Monday from what I hear.

A trailblazer ss intake and throttle body. Looks like it'll clear all of the things it needs to clear which is cool.

Now, let's have a discussion about old timey naval hats and how good/bad they'd look on an intake...

I think it needs some.... work before/if it gets bolted on lol.

Picked up the 4l80e and the tci flex plate today. Figured out I need shorter flex plate bolts for this one. Summit, once again, has me covered.

Personally I think a Lokar shifter would look better. That thermostat housing is really cool. I also like the engine cover.
You seem like someone who'd like Lokar shifters... lol.

T stat housing got returned, wrong one came in but I have another similar one in a cart already.

Engine cover may look better once the engine is in the truck..

Found a box of treats on the deck this afternoon.

Got an adjustable thermostat housing that fits this time, a Summit brand tranny dipstick, shorter flex plate bolts and a sonnax chernobly 1350 slip yolk.

Whelp, after Saturday turned into an early afternoon fungus fueled s***show... I finished my mobile truck stilts yesterday. They should make it a little easier to work under the truck and I can still move it around on the castors.
