Everything looks great! You're going to love the 80E.
Ya i did but for a couple of reasons. I hate how tight it is where the exhaust goes over the crossmember. Also when/if i redo my exhaust this summer i want to be avle to run the ypipe under the middle of the crossmember. Now i have plenty of clearance on the side or under the trans to run my exhaust.

They're all good! My oldest turns 2 next month and my youngest is going to be 4 months next month!

How's your wifey and your herd doing? Maybe one of these days I could come out and we could shoot the sh*t and you could let me check out your handy work in person?

well i finally got off my *** and ordered the remaining crap... I have a 4in aluminum shaft on the way, the shaft is setup as a 1350 in the front and a 1350/stocker bastard joint in the rear. This way i can swap it in then later on down the road when i redo the gears I can get a 1350 pinion yoke and 1350 ujoint...

I also order some AN couplers to extend the cooling lines.

The swap will take place next weekend!!!!

Driveshaft came in today. It is a 4in .120 aluminum. It is roughly 58.5inches center to center... It if very nice and it is soooo freaking light.. The guy said it should be good up to 7200, so i think i am good togo with whatever direction i take.. 7200 in 3rd with the TC locked is pretty stinking fast alot faster than i would like togo in a truck
