Re: 1987 R20 Suburban LQ4 4L80E swap
Like mentioned in the above post, we got the motor and transmission in Friday night. An interesting thing we encountered when installing the motor, the Dirty dingo mounts had to be swapped left to right. When we had them bolted up like they were supposed to be installed, the motor would not go in, but as soon as we put the one labels pass side on the driver's side and vice versa, everything lined up perfect! We didin't even have to move the transmission crossmember, it went back in the stock location! Still have plenty of room up front for the electric fans too.
A couple problems have shown up, the Enytopy radiator/fan combo is a little too short, so I am deciding whether or not to send it back and get one a little taller, or try and make some spacers to lift up the Radiator a bit.
Also my new AC condenser is too narrow to go back into the stock location.
