Project: Big White Elephant! 88 GMC Sierra LQ4/4l80e/Turbo Build

[Hivelocit]

Finally got the engine and transmission mated together after some issues with the TC and Flexplate not snugging up, thanks again Chris for helping solve that problem.


Much easier with the front end off! Painted the frame with Por-15 the and repainted the firewall to clean up the engine bay a bit...


Anyways here she sits. I started the install today and just have to get the cross-member fitted to the trans. Will try and get more done this week, starting with the harness, and get back to posting more pics.


And success!

Great looking build. I wish I had the time to do mine this way.

Thanks man! All I have is time... In fact this build has been ongoing for about 4 years now! I am starting to think its only the journey that matters lol

Anyone have knowledge of where I can find a good write-up concerning the 4l80e swap into an OBS, particularly the shift linkage, I see some have shortened it 1.5-2" and just want to be sure this is the appropriate method?
