87 Scottsdale 4X4 5.3 LSX swap
I appreciate the comments, i dont use 4LO very often, i dont think many people do, but yeah the signal speed is high when in 4LO, but the transfer case output speed signal matches of course, in the rarity that i do use it and need to shift,i just manually shift it with the column shift.

Ran the 2010 LS3 Camaro manifolds for a while then i found some Shoenfield 1302 headers that fit pretty well, they are for a 88-98 2wd LS swap i had to rework the collector angle on the drivers side cause of my automatic trans shifter, but i like the long tubers alot better and they fit pretty good- jchevy33

Used factory throttle cable from LS engine, i used truck intake and cable from 99-02 trucks, hooked right up, i think my pedal was bent a little though so i had to put a fishing weight on the end of the cable at the pedal, but it works fine and clips into firewall just fine- jchevy33

@ Stewzer is right on the money, 4L60e same dimensions as 700r4, 27 spline output shaft, i had to get a newer stlye (99-06) 6 bolt adapter to go to NP208, but thats really the only part you would need, shifter linkage (original 87 style) bolts right up retained all of that, I did have to make a...- jchevy33
