a little update. i have mounted the transmission to the motor bolted in the crossmember and bolted the transfer case up to the transmission. put the pacesetter long tubes on (70-2265). there are 2 slight issues. the first is they just barely touch the drivers side frame rail and 2 using the 700r4 transmission it just slighty touchs one of the ears on the casing. but would be fine if you use a new 4l60e. all fluids have been filled except for coolant. i am still deciding where to mount the fuel pressure regulator. the only thing beside coolant and fuel left to do is hook up the power and ground for the msd box then i should have a video of open headers for you guys
