They actually put in an FZJ80 tcase with the 4l60e. Must be some way to mate them up? Maybe that Torfab kit has it?

However, stay away from Proffitts They absolutely half-assed this whole thing. That is a longer story tho......
 
What's next?? Cleaning up all the half-assed issues from the swap!

The catalytic converter was within 1/4" of the fuel and brake lines
Remove the dual exhaust and dump it passenger side
The fuel pump was shot and NOT affixed to the hanger at all. Replaced that and the warm start issues were fixed.
The electric fans blew the relay AND weren't coming on when the car was hot. Nearly overheated the vehicle

A few more minor issues that I spent a bit of money chasing, but I think its dialed in!
 
Pretty big project that I had to get some help with! Gutted the interior first

Then I put down some dynamat inside the cabin and doors. I'm a butcher at this, but I am very good at getting little cuts all over my hands!!

Simple setup. Deck, 4 door speakers, an amp and 2 small powered subs

This birch mounting panel from Whits End is really slick, well engineered and worth the 7 month wait!

Pretty happy how it turned out. I can watch movies and hear the music at 80mph!
 
All set for a trip to Bozeman --> Missoula --> Glacier on Friday!
