Couple questions , what transfercase have all used to retain the 4wd i know i am going to have to have driveshafts made? Also i am planning on using a pacific fab engine crossmember, what transmission xmember have others used? My truck has a aux tank from the factory, what have you guys done to supply the engine with fuel while using the factory tanks? Thanks

A np241 will fit a 4l80 and be pass side drop...can be found in 91 burbs I know
Really no need for a engine crossmember...you can use adapter plates and it'll bolt right into the small block mounts..can do the same with the trans crossmember if you get the right one... On the fuel ,I use vett style filter reg and a walbro 255 inline pump

I was reading some threads where they say you need a different engine crossmember ? I’ll have to look for a 241 out of that truck. I was also reading about using the corevette regulator , will have to figure out plumbing to utilize both the fcurrent fuel tanks . Install the fuel pump right inline with the current supply line? It will draw OK from the stock pickup of the tank?

Re: LS 6.0/4l80e swap - What tcase and fuel system ?
Im not sure what your reading on crossmembers... but with adapter plates a LS will bolt right in where a smallblock does and use the smallblock motor mounts...you may need to swap/modify the oilpan for axle clearance though...
And No...dont use your stock fuel lines...you'll need to upgrade to high pressure fuel lines...I have my pump p mounted above the tank and it works just fine...I'd keep it as close to the tank as possible....you'll need a return less fuel system to run the vett reg and you'll need a return port back into the tank no matter what...you can modify your tank for a in tank pump but I'm not dealing with dual tanks either...

You can also use a np205 out of 85 and up square body trucks with sm465 and 400 turbo trucks as as they are 32 spline female input shafts

Re: LS 6.0/4l80e swap - What tcase and fuel system ?
From my understanding the crossmember has to do with running the stock ls ac compressor with the engine in certain locations. Will you be running ac?

you cannot use this one because it has the mechanical speedo cable... the 4l80e uses a electronic speed sensor to shift the transmission...

I plan on running ac . The truck came with factory air so I would like to retain that feature

Re: LS 6.0/4l80e swap - What tcase and fuel system ?
Well I will be tackling this myself in the near future. My understanding is with conversion mount adapters you gave to put the engine in the forward position with stock crossmember, frame stands, and stock low mount ac on the ls. I have seen a few 2wd guys extend the engines frame stand so they could move the mount reward without moving the actual engine. In my mind I’ve had two thoughts on this, slice and dice a 2wd crossmember from a square body and move it back on the frame rails creating plenty of clearance for the compressor. The second is the same but with the 4wd crossmember, but dictated by amount of lift and in my case crossover steering. I’m opting for a square body 4wd crossmember slid back 2 inches which will allow my frame stands to be closer to the position of the stock ls mounting, Ofcourse this is all theory as I haven’t put my crossmember under the frame yet.
