I wanted to ask you what you are going to use to control the 4L80E?

You may also want to drop the transfer case and replace all the seals, they likely leak. I did this some years ago, I'll try to find the source I purchased the seals from, all US made stuff, if you are interested.

PS. Gas here is almost $7.00 a gallon, almost 12X the price in 73. Back in 71 gas was less than 30 cents a gallon.
I have purchased a Compushift transmission control module to mate the Edelbrock Pro Flo 4 with the 4L80E.

I have also purchased a transfer case rebuild kit from Advance Adapter. Definitely plan on taking advantage of dropping all this heavy equipment to do general preventive maintenance.

Looks like my inflation calculation was off by a factor of 2x and possibly 4x (I used the nationwide average for regular gasoline)! There is certainly a lot of price variance state-to-state affected by distance and taxation. But prices are rising out of hand. I'm glad I sourced all of the parts and materials for the restoration two years ago, before prices rocketed higher.
