Okay, so I'm back on the Burb full blast again. I've had to move a bunch of stuff around, and was hoping to build a new shop in the back, but a storage unit's just going to have to cut it for now to make room in the garage.

I've decided to go with the LQ4 setup with 4L80E. The engine and tranny I bought are out of a 2003 Chevy 2500 truck with 102K miles that was hit in the rear. The truck was just acquired this week and was actually driven into the shop. Motor is complete with all accessories, wiring, computer, throttle, etc...and tranny are being picked up tomorrow by a friend of mine who will be taking care of the harness sorting for me. I hope to have her here by next weekend!!!

New motor mounts are on their way from PB. Much more to come along with lots of studying on the LSx swap thread and more questions to follow I'm sure.
