Just picked up an LT4 swapped '86 C10

I believe they're 3.08s, which are not ideal but I'm running a th350 so probably the best compromise currently. I may looking into an OD trans in the future (potentially 700r4) with some better gearing in the 3.40-70 range, but TBD on that.

Since you already have the EFI and whatever computer running the LT4, you might as well just drop in a 95-newer 4L60e instead of a junk 700R4. They are basically the same trans, but with a bunch of reliability improvements in the 4L60 and no TV cable since it is all electronically controlled by the computer. It also lets you easily adjust the trans shift points and lockup with an OBD2 tool.

That's a good shout, too. I haven't put a ton of thought into the trans just yet - I'll probably leave well enough alone until I decide to figure out all the wiring for an e trans.

I dunno about you, dude. It's fascinating that your next move is to make further and even more unverified claims?
You ain't got no more pictures??
I don't believe it.

The ribbing I can handle...the bad puns not so sure lol

On another note - got the leaks all squared away....damn it, I just did it too... Redid the timing cover/water pump, oil pan, & trans pan. Tight as a drum now so had a celebratory shop beer & am allowed to park in the house garage now that it doesn't mark it's territory every time I park.
