Drive by wire pedal, wiring harness, and TAC module, caame with motor purchase. Thank goodness the salvage yard let me get the wiring, spent a good hour fishing it out of the stock dash harness but worth having complete.

got in a bunch of little bolts, gaskets etc.

Just ordered some 07-11 LPP stainless headers..experiment to see if they fit, they were only $450 shipped and two new bosch O2 sensors $35 shipped each. Then some stock motor mounts and stock trans mount $30 shipped from RockAuto.com . Then a Lextech AC bracket kit. $250 shipped.

Then noticing my stock NP8 transfer case is leaking like crazy now on a long trip...sigh..lol

The body lift has nothing to do with it riding rough, the fact that you cranked up the torsion bars is why it rides rough.

i just finished this build about a year ago. definately worth it! check out my thread its pretty detailed lol

Yes I browsed that thread long and hard, took a while..quite a novel.highs and lows.

Got the Lextech AC bracket kit ($250 shipped)..the bracket looks really good, the finish is awesome. Still have to clean up the engine, shine up the aluminum brackets, clean oil pan, install new front rear seals, paint the block and get it ready. Still waiting on the NNBS headers to get here, NP8 transfer case, 02 sensors.

Got the headers in..look good they are the NNBS ones no EGR stuff which is cool but hope everything clears. For the money they are thin walled but look good otherwise.

Mated up my 40 series muffler to get a visual

I have a 94 Blazer and have thrown the idea of this swap around for a while. Could you not find a motor with a throttle cable throttle body?
