Update:

Engine and tranny are in with everything secure and bolted in.
Time to torque everything down to spec.

I put the front end back on this morning and am ready to calculate all the new lines and hosing. Drivers side header is on after a little cutting of the frame and crossmember for clearance. (no structural integrity lost although I will go back and do a little finish welding)
I am also going to have to reevaluate the fan shroud mounting.

The blazer radiator has provisions for tranny cooler in the body so that saves me a bit of time.
I had to get an oil cooler for the truck block so i need to mount that.

I am having some little issues on the shift mechanism hook up. I keep forgetting the shift pattern and starting location on the T400. If I remember correctly it is (while sitting on the ground facing the transmission)
PARK - Full clicks to left till stop.
Reverse - One click to right
Neutral - Two clicks
D - Three clicks
2 - Four clicks
1 - Five clicks

Can anyone verify this for me???????

ANYONE interested in a small block to big block write up thread???
