so I talked to Jared at Current performance. He said they can do the harness and tuning, but I need to take off the tranny pan to remove the computer and send it to him as well. Not a bad price at all for the tune. A little pricey for the wiring but it's worth my time since I work offshore and don't get to spend much with the family.
Also, got some more work done to the truck yesterday. I scored a returned engine hoist from the local parts store for $100. It didn't have any wheels on it so I went to the hardware store and bought some casters, re-drilled some holes and it worked fine. A few beers and a couple busted knuckles later, the old 305 and 700R4 were out. It took the help of my 99' Camaro to pull the engine hoist though. I don't have solid ground to work on since the swap is taking place in the spare lot next door. We hooked up a strap to the hitch on the Camaro and kept laying out some plywood so the wheels would roll.
After the old stuff was out, I decide to remove the front cap off the truck. I don't want to scratch up the new power plant ya know....
