You are way overcomplicating that. Find someone local with hptuners to tweek the way the trans acts during driving, and consider a steeper rear gear ratio to keep you in lockup longer while maintaining acceleration ability. 8l90e and reluctor swap. Wow that sounds flat ridiculous.
Not me brother.
Well I cant catch a damn break to save my life. Lets start at the beginning, motor was ready to be rolled under. I draped the harness over it, then moved on to the car. I cut more clearance in the tunnel for the rear trans cooler line (which ended up not helping a ton), and trimmed the passenger...
So we left off with an assembled short block, I stole the dual springs off the old 862 heads and installed them along with new valve seals on the new to me 799 castings. Cleaned all the block holes with an ARP thread tap, and copper coated the new LS9 head gaskets. I used ARP moly lube on the...
I did the DJM kit very similar to the one linked above, but subbed in ebay drop spindles for the front and added bilstein 4600 shocks and it rides great. No complaints.
Stick it into its hole and clamp your drill onto the stem so you can use the drill to spin the valve in the head.
Use the slow speed setting on your drill, and move it in and out (on and off the seat). Wow what a difference 20 seconds makes.
Comparison.
The sealing surface in the head...
Went and picked the motor up from UPS freight and got right onto tearing it down. Overall its much cleaner inside then the previous engine.
A welder, a washer, and a nut come in handy for getting those broken exhaust bolts out.......and the vice grips for when you round the nut off! These are...

2wd and 4wd dont matter, and your replacements arent going to look exactly the same but will work the same
Rock Auto has them listed around 30 bucks apiece
Motor pullin party. Got damn it.
TDC for #3. For those who may not know, the piston is supposed to come above the deck. This is the highest I could get this one, followed by a clunk.
Just like I thought.....
And this is why you dont pull in engines in flip flops!! Not that this will...
Gotta be a rod bearing. With the metal in the filter and then the rpm based clunking it seems like a no brainer. Luckily I was around the corner from the house and didnt drive it long so hopefully my other good parts are not damaged.
Well this is a depressing update with a happy ending. Go back to the oil pressure issues. I figured out the black junk was from the rocker arms, it was flaking off, so that was accounted for being in the filter. The car was running good and AFR wasnt bad so we went on a drive, after a couple of...
Mine didnt need replaced, rides and tows great!!! I had the autoride with the self leveling airbag rear shocks which were non-functional when i bought the truck. Info here:
