hi, my dad and i have just started a 6.0 swap into his 1978 Cutlass supreme.
We already have the motor from a 2006 silverado with 4L80E. we have the hummer oil pan, and engine mounts from BRP hotrods, soon to order headers. i have done lots of research but i am trying to tie some loose ends together.
my questions are what have you guys done about pully set ups. we are going to use the stock intake for now but may change to a Fast intake later so i might want to not use the pick up set up becasue i know it will not clear the idler pully.
next is the transmission. can i get a B&M shifter for a 700R4 to work the gears in the transmission or do i need something differnt? and the plug ins for the transmission... what do they do when it comes to actually working the transmission.
for the wiring i think we are just going to send the harness and computer to someone to build a new harness and tune the computer for a swap like take out the security key thing. The place i had in mind was current perfomance wiring.
thanks alot for your help. i will try to keep posted on the build.
