Are you going to stick with 5-speed or convert it to 4L80E?
My guess is you've already figured out you're going to need a new rearend? A 10-bolt with a gov-bomb ain't gonna last long behind a big block.
I already have a reman 7.4L TBI unit sourced. Thanks though. Yes, I am sticking with the NV3500 5 speed and the open 10 bolt rear end with 3:08 gears (No gov-bomb). My FIL is not a lead foot nor does he ever pull anything with the truck so I am not worried about those pieces right now. If a 5 lug 9.5” rear axle pops up I’ll grab it but I am not going on a treasure hunt to find one.
