Good to see you are back in the hunt again. All of the work and frustration will soon payoff. I have done several projects like this and before you know it you turn the corner and it is all coming together. Just never total up your receipts!

Yeah, its been a long process..and I'm scared to add up the receipts. I'm actually to the point where I'm hoping to fire it up in the next week or two. I'll be working on catching up the thread here over the next couple days.

Once you build a fire in it you will be energized to complete the project. Works for me every time.

I was curious if you had any floor contact with the 4L80, did you need to modify any of the tunnel or floor ?

I am also interested in if you had to make changes in your tunnel for the trans. Also, have you checked the trans angle in relation to the pinion?

Your left exhaust manifold clear the frame? Is there enough room to run 2.5" pipe between the bellhousing and frame?
