Ok, so the swap is done and working good. My only question now is, what speedometer do i use to compensate for the extra length?

I assume that you are refering to a tranny swap and now the speedo cable is to short. I got a replacement from the local auto parts that was 77 inches long for $12. Worked just fine.

Got it from Autozone. It was just a generic chevy cable. I just asked for one for my truck and they had one they said fit lots of the old chevy's. They had a couple of lengths and the one I got was the shorter of the two.
