    You could put a full manual valve body in it.

    You could add a floor shifter. Gives you another reason to have your hand between your gal's legs while driving down the road.

    no but I was thinking of doing the same thing.. only bc I want to put in a nelson harness. I think the only hard part would be running the wires across the top of the transmission. what you could do though is get like a coat hanger, and bend it to the curve of the transmission. Tape one of the connections that goes across, and just push it across.. I dunno just an idea

    that's weird, they gave you a 4L80E harness with a 5.3? I don't believe the 80E ever went behind the 5.3 either. I trick to taking out that main trans plug is to get a hair dryer and heat up the area since the crap they put in there acts like adhesive and if you do it cold you take the risk of pulling it all apart.

    cleaner looking, and this one I have now I dont like very much. stuff on it that I dont need, and some of the locking clips for the injectors are broken so they just seat on there. He makes the harness like really neat and keeps it all out of the way so you dont see wires everyhwere

    yeah i know how to get the plugs out of the neutral safety switch the hard part i think is gonna be getting all those trans plugs out since the engine is soo close to the firewall
