Yes, that's correct, the tcase will ground a line from the locker comp and let you operate lockers normally. Since I used a different tcase I had to ground that lead separately,

Sounds like you have a good start, great project!
I am actually considering another one, found a good price on an 80 that needs an engine and it is making me want to do it.
Keep us posted on the build, that is a great engine for the 80.
The thing you need to think about is the gearing again, I went with the 700R4 because it actually had better final drive than the NV4500 if I remember correctly, plus I didn't want to go to the trouble of converting to 5 speed, would be nice though. If the 6.5 is anything like my 6.2 it needs to cruise at under 2,000 rpm, 1,800 is about perfect.
Good luck!
Rusty

With the MFI of a '93, putting together a harness should be pretty simple. The OP has the basics in post #26.
