I have started my latest project not sure if I have the knowledge to document the process but I will attempt to, I’m sure I’m not the first to do this I have a 1981 Chevy 4x4 frame ( pictures above) that has all new brakes front and rear and front end completely rebuilt with new parts , new springs and shocks. There is a 1984 Cab setting on it that is rust free, (with a Va title) it’s legal, if you look under the hood you will find a V8 engine from a 2005 Suburban ( I shared some of this in my introduction) that’s just setting there sideways with the new motor mounts. This is what I have bought, past owner had done all this work and when trying to take the motor out, the truck rolled down the yard into his shed. he tried to stop the truck with the forks on the tractor therefore there are a few holes poked in the bed on the passenger side.he got mad and kicked both doors on the cab and posted the truck on Craigslist in a fit of anger, anyway I bought it as is before the post was there 2 minutes sight unseen.
My questions follow, I have the original transfer case and front end which is on the right side and an engine that I believe fed a transfer case that front end was on the drivers side. What is the most economical way to make this work, any help would be greatly appreciated, I have a 2 wheel drive 4L80e transmission from mid 90’s Corvette will that bolt up to the transfer case with an adapter? If not would I be better off with a transmission from an mid 80’s 4x4 not sure just need everything to go to the ECM well now you all know the rest of the story and where my project begins. I have looked thought the sight and lsswap blogs but have not found the right one yet. I will be waiting to hear from those that have been down this path before me, thanks in advance for all your help.
