post your 67-72 4x4

I’m hoarding parts for my ls swap now. My plan is to keep the 465/205 in there place and mount the 6.0 wherever it needs to be to keep the stock driveshafts in place. I know that doesn’t exactly help with the od transmission in this case. For my 3100 I’ve got a turbo 400/205. I’m gonna 6.0 or even 8.1 swap that one with a 4l80E and the turbo 400 spec 205.

I've got the 6L90 with my NP205 (kept the stock trans crossmember and location but fabricated a few mods). Happy to share any lessons learned as it's a bit harder to find LS swap info with a transfer case mixed in on the board.
I'm wiring my LS engine as I write this...prepare for a lot of work with an LS swap but I get more and more excited each day I make progress!

I’ve got a 4x4 6L90 that came with my 6.0, I’ve thought about that route but man it’s pricy getting the 205 behind it. It’ll be nice when you get it all done. I’ve got an 18 Sierra 2500 with that tranny and it’s quite nice to drive. The 6L80 in my Camaro is every bit as good drivability wise. The low first and second gears In both of them get you out of the hole pretty well.

Hey Rowdy11...Had to read through all of your build thread before responding and now have a full page of new questions! Won’t ask them all now, but will definitely keep your offer in mind!
Gotta admit your experience scares me a little as I do not want to (or need to) dismantle my truck. That band saw action would be a challenge with the np205 in the truck.
I am hoping to keep the NP in place and “slide in” an OD Tranny and LS motor.
That’s sounding a little simplistic after reading your thread.
Maybe the Sniper add to the existing 402BB is more in the cards.
Sure appreciate all of the comments and offers for assistance !!!
6L90e six speed sounds awesome! Extra challenges with that set-up I am guessing?

That seems like a reasonable plan.
Questions;
1.crate LS or boneyard LS?
2. Turbo 400 spec NP205? Early GM NP205’s are not all the same ?
Thanks in advance!
