Thanks for all of the welcomes, over the past week I have had an opportunity to work on my project some and got my donor 454/4l80e(2wd) pulled out and verified that the tail shaft is fully splined and my t-case is is 32 spline input and now just to get the .066 machined off the mounting flange lip of the t-case.

Before really getting under the Surburban and seeing the frame and body mount rust, I had felt bad about using it as a donor. The interior is in great shape and from looking at the outside I could have cutout and replaced the rusted panels, wheel wells and bumpers. But the frame was just to bad. I will live on in a square body.

4.56 gears!?!? Sheesh! That'll launch nicely, and then drive you crazy on the highway.

Welcome from St Louis. That Terrible Broccoli Indigestion (TBI) was truly awful. What's Your plan with the big block? Huge torque potential.
