fbody acc or vette acc, and while a built 4l60e will take some abuse I prefer the 4l80e. the 80 will take all you can throw at it if you build it too. look up quadzilla 4l80e.

You can use the truck front drive stuff and still run fans with the factory radiator.

As for the transmission the 80e is hands down stronger however if you have someone build the 60e that is capable and knows what the hell they are doing you can make one live.

the A/C belt is separate and has it's own tensioner. Just pull the Belt and you are good to go.

I ran the stock 4.3L radiator in Texas heat. I made a 5052 .080" fan shroud and attached 2 Spal 13" fans on it. Ran just fine. The pics are with the truck accessories.

All lines are S-10 except for the compressor lines that I robbed off a full size truck and had the ends made to mate to the s-10 condensor and accumulator.

I also did a lot of overkill stuff because I'm OCD as hell and don't like cheap ****. Like the exhaust I had over 2,000 in lol

I can see 2k in exhaust. You got 1k in 1 7/8" SS SW headers alone. Buy the rest in stainless, and a nice muffler, and bang, 2k.

I would say run Corvette accessories. Only some of the F-Body stuff works, and truck stuff stick out too much IMO.
