oops. Guess i never got back to this thread. Yea its all done and back on the road. Really runs better than ever with a proper tune on it! As far as MPG its right at 12 in town. About 14.5 on the highway empty. It just a fun driving truck.

i am thinking about swapping a LQ4 or L96 into my 1989 k2500 suburban. my tbi engine is tired and worn out. will i have issues with mounting to a nv4500 transmission? that engine matched with a nv4500 with my 5.13s would push the 37s nicely. i welcome any thoughts.

Earl...there are a many posts about hanging a nv4500 behind a LS...I've done 2 of these...it ain't cheap..especially if you have to get advanced adapters products like I did...there are some factory parts to do this but I couldn't find all the stuff needed...
