Default 78 Chevy SB 4X4 Swap

I'm new at posting. I'm not sure this will work!

I'm swapping a Ramjet 350/700R4 combo in my 78 Chevy shortbox 4X4 to an LS376/480 GMPP crate engine, 4L60E trannie from Bowtie Overdrives.

A couple of pictures of the truck before it was taken apart.

A look at the Ramjet. It was only in about three years. Couldn't resist the attraction of 480 HP!

Here's the LS3/4L60E combo that's going in!

We are using Hooker cast iron exhaust manifolds for a little better breathing.
