My Motor and Gear Swap

Decided to make a little build thread. You guys can move it if its in the wrong forum. Wanted to do a LSX build but had this 406 around and could pass up on using in my truck for right now. Knew I was going to have to change the gearing in the truck from 3:08 to at least a 3:73.
