****no tow***** except zero turn ****no race***** What I got: 04 chevy 2500 4x4 6.0ls 4l80 4.10 gears 5700lbs (curb wt) 285/65r22 rt 331k miles 4 button 4wd (hi, low, 2wd, auto) Newer transfer case Stock driveshaft ( front and rear) A.c. stock What I want: • L8t- 6.6l • Btr stage 2 or better • 2k stall •10l90 • 4.10 gears • Same weight • Same tires • <20k miles drivetrain • 4 button 4wd • Drivetrain matched transfer case and drives haft (splines) • Keep A.C. • Stand alone wire harness (speartec or swaptime) with proper controllers • Reverse lights and neutral safe As u know the truck is 20yrs old as of Jan 2024. No emissions here in johnston county, NC. (400+hp) 400sbc with a 10spd & that low 1st gear w/ 4.10's. Come on! Yall have got to be drooling . What are somethings that I need to lookout for? I can find a complete "pull out" for less than $7k..... w/warranty (90day -6mo) or COPART. But that's a 6sp auto not the 10sp. I thought of piecing throughout the year and just testing components b4 their warranty run out. I'm mechanical, I swapped 2 thirdgen v6 to a fourth generation rear, vortec sbc, 4sp auto, w/sniper induction. Also bbc/400 swapped my dads c10. So I know some. Just need tips and tricks - do's and don't...... I need the pros and experts.......I'm only doing this ONCE not bad for $1300
