a look at my 2wd rcsb lq4 4l80e 14bolt build
I only have a couple days of work left on my summer project. Started out as a 2000 4.3 with 200,000 miles on the clock. Here are a few pics of how it is and came to be.

The motor is a 2000 lq4 with a tsp224 cam, 706 heads milled .030, true union upgrade, ls2 oil pump, stock bottom end, pace setter lts, and ls6 intake. It also has a 3800 stall converter and 4.10s with a Detroit truetrac. I have kept track on exactly home much I've spent on this project, and including the purchase of the truck, I'm into it for 10.5k so far.

So i finished the truck (i know it will never really be finished) about a week ago, but i felt as though I wasn't putting the power down to the wheels that I should have. Engine felt good and trans shifted great, but the torque converter felt like poo. I called jegs and ordered another converter. It showed up a few days later, only to find that the pilot was too deep for the long style crank. Jegs hadnt specified that it would not fit the early 6.0 cranks, because they had no knowledge of the issue. After explaining the issue to them they were kind enough to custom order me a tc from hughes in phoenix, and not charge me the difference ($175). I received it two days later and it installed perfectly. I went with 3000 stall locking converter. The only thing left to do is bring the truck down to Slowhawk in Bridgewater, Ma next week. Don is going to retune the truck for me, because the mail order tune I currently have is junk, well good enough for a burnout.
