This has been a good read. Just curious on an update how’s it been? I’m debating whether to go the 4l80e route because it’s attached to the lq4 motor.. just not much info with these trans in 80’s.

The headers you chose have 2.25" outlet whereas your original engine headers had a 2.5" outlet. Are you not concerned with the loss of performance by restricting the exhaust or is this of no concern?
It's already a tatton drive shaft (2") and it growled like a mofo with the dc at the axle end. I have a part time tcase already with flanges, but no hubs. I would like to avoid going part time though...i honestly think it will be fine. I'm probsbly going to rent a bobcat in a couple of weeks and I'll grab a set of forks to test it out. A new tranny pan with a plug is like $60 or I'll drain and drop the current one, cut and move the pan a bit and weld in a bung.What about having a smaller diameter shaft made and putting the D/C at the axle end? There was no way I could wheel my truck with stock the diameter shaft.

Just let me know. I'm on the west side of town and a 10-15 min detour (+whatever time you spend shooting the breeze) from i-70.I’m in Alabama, have a fishing trip in Steamboat planned for sometime in January, might be able to make something happen
moving the phb up has been nice. definitely less butt wobble. I can see how the expensive option is "worth it." If money is tight, you can also live with it like many do.Moving that rear phb up some does help with planting the rear some.. glad to see you driving it around and enjoying the new found power.. definitely a lot more enjoyable to drive.
I finally got my Tatton DC front drive shaft and so far no issues.. I also had to "clearance" the trans pan a little.. not much.. just a little... I did order a shallow trans pan so I might put that one on when I have time.
What kind of fitting did you use for the Return Fitting? The build looks great!
