So far:<\/p>\n

I made a trade for the truck.<\/p>\n

Got it home:<\/p>\n

Got it in the shop, after the snow melted.<\/p>\n

Got the Cab off. \u00a0Did I mention that in December I broke 7 vertebrae and had spinal surgery.<\/p>\n

Take the box off.<\/p>\n

Next take the Vortec and tranny and exhaust out.<\/p>\n

Fuck that, got another donor truck instead without all that computerized shit in it. \u00a0That happens later.<\/p>\n

Picked up a free donor van Van 1992 GMC SAFARI. Originally I just wanted the Hydroboost Unit out of the van. To get that I was told I had to take the whole van. I found that the steering column, seats and quite a few other parts looked like a better fit for the 55. After driving it home. I noticed that the high output 4.3 litre vortec had good power. It also had the linkage and tranny I needed for the swap.\"\"<\/p>\n

The 700r4 is for a two wheel drive so I will need to find one or the tail shaft for a 4wd version. \u00a0For now I am driving the van. I will be looking to get rid off any computers Ecm has to go.The original vortec in the Yukon had four or five of them I am sure. Even the tranny a 4l60e needed a computer in order to shift. I am hoping I can use the push button transfer case. I will be switching to a carb. I happen to have a Rochester waiting to go. Stupid shit like the egr valve will go. Mine is sticking and a bitch to get at in the van.<\/p>\n

The great thing about the van. When I am ready to do take out the engine and tranny, the subframe drops to the ground with engine and tranny and rolls to where you need it to go.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
