I had a V6 5speed and had to cut the driveshaft plus replace the drive shaft yoke with a much smaller one to fit the 4L60E transmission. Contact your local driveshaft shop for how they want you to measure it for cutoff.

Hey Injected I did a similar swap on my 91. Mine is SBRC and had the 4.3 auto in it.
If you bought the motor mounts adapters from S&P and you read the directions it tells you to put the plates in a way where the square ends points towards the back of the engine. Well if you do that and havent changed the mounts on th eframe to V8 ones then the motor will hit the firewall.
For some reason my memory is a little fuzzy and I dont have the truck anywhere near me to take a look at it. I think I turned mine upside down and flip them so that the square end is facing the front of the engine. Maybe if you can show me the diagram I can tell you exactly how it goes. Anyways after you "flip" the adapter plates that should move the engine forward about 3-4 inches. Thats enough to clear the firewall and to get your wrenches to the back of the bellhousing.
I reused my driveshaft no problem, but I put a 6 speed on my truck and I love it. I didnt have the tools to weld and mount the master cylinder so I had a shop do it in exchange for my old V6 and tranny. Other than that its awesome, I even have a short throw shifter from B&M. Good luck, I should be home in about a week and I can look at the truck and tell you exactly what you need to know. :thumb:
