Oh and when I got the monster tranny it came
With a 2600 stall

Alrighty, so just an update im gonna throw out there. I began my swap 3 days ago, taking my time and being extra careful to remember, (take pics) of everything. Only major hangups I had were the exhaust nuts on the flange, I figured they would be rusted on and sure as shit were. Broke 3 harbor freight extensions, (thankfully they exchange them for free). The torque converter bolts that hold it to the driveplate were also a royal PITA. Eventually I got them out by running a 24" extension between the motor mount and down the side of the block along with a breaker bar and was finally able to crack them loose. After I had my hoist hooked up and everything free the damn dowel pins between the motor and trans were stuck (figures) after 3 hours of effin around finally got the old motor out. I left it on a pallet in my front yard for the evening, (new neighbors that moved in today must think they just moved into redneck land.) MUAHAHAHA

Everything is put back together, swap went extremely well, now just waiting for my blackbear tune from justin, and my efan wiring harness. =) Sounds awesome even running off of the tune for the 5.3!!!
