4L80E - what do I need to salvage from a donor truck?

I had a look at your thread. Looks like you're doing a lot of the things I've done, or want to do. I'm running a Sniper as well. Right now I'm using whatever distributor was on the motor, but I want to change that out for the Holley one that talks to the Sniper. With a 19 gallon tank and a big block I figure I might as well do everything I can to help get a little better mileage. Funny you went Dakota Digital too - that's what I might end up doing. It's a lot of money, but so is converting the speedo signal from electric to mechanical.

Hopefully it gets warm here soon. I'd like to put a few more miles on the 92 just to make sure everything's good, and then start ripping it apart. I want everything in by April 1. Not sure if that's a deadline I can hit or not. Probably not.

Yeah, I hadn't planned on all of this but its always one thing after another and you keep replacing/upgrading stuff as you go. Im pretty happy with everything so far. Lots of wiring to make everything work together but Im hoping it makes this old turd reliable and fun to drive. Let me know if you need help with anything.
