This question is going to be asked a bunch I'm sure.

I'm doing a built 4l65 with a Vigilante 3600. The 80e was going to cost quite a bit extra to do and I don't plan on dragging the truck so I really don't think I'll need it. Only time well tell how the 65 will hold up.

 

Update:
Out with the old.

Engine built and ready to install.

Engine bay cleaned/painted with newer style 4l60 and stall converter

New engine in it's new home.

 

Water pump with LS temp sensors installed.

Transmission cooler mounted.

New radiator next to old one.

Custom power steering lines.

Driver side factory battery box installed.

New computor mounted.

 

Awesome! I'm digging it

 

Few more pics...

 

Don't know if it's already been asked, but what's the plan for the a/c?

 

Dirty Dingo.. Should have some pictures with it installed later.

 

Got the truck back on Thursday. Overall I'm VERY impressed with the work that was done to the truck. It hauls major A$$!!This truck is a BEAST with 400rwhp!! The big cam and stall with take a bit of getting used to but well worth it. I really don't think it could look anymore factory than it does.

Electric fans. You can see in the lower left the LS computor mounted with the cover on it.

Factory compressor with dirty dingo mount.. Can't even tell it has a TBSS intake with the engine covers.

Took the chrome trim off the wheel wells and z71 stickers off. Found a GMC grill on craigslist waiting delivery for the side marker lights. Paint job is top of the list now.

 

 

Excellent work! I love the stance of the dropped 4X4. What cam did you go with?
