Re: 1972 K20 LQ4/4L80E Swap

Cross member is in finally. Was more challenging than I expected it to be and since my truck is not completely disassembled, the brake lines were in the way of their design, so had to take them out and re-route. Maybe should have done more research prior and gone with something like the Pacific Fabs cross member that looks like it mounts to the stock cross member holes, but I liked the idea of being able to drop the cross member if I needed. Also seems pretty tight to the front differential, not a ton of clearance, I didn't measure, but 3-4 inches at most. Not planning any big gnarly off road trips, so should be fine.

Got the behind the seat gas tank out as well thanks to the help of my dad. Next I'll connect the rebuilt 4L80E to the engine and drop it in to figure out trans cross member placement, hopefully won't have to move it, but not sure yet.
