Drunkcanuks build...... finally!!!

[Sean Buick 76]

Ya, I came across that today.
A bit out of my budget for now. Nevermind all the parts that go along to get it running in the truck.
Realistically, my budget is $2500-3000.
By not going silly off the hop, it should be doable. Get one in and running, then mess with a cam during its first winter.

I agree I wouldn’t spend over $900 unless I could test drive it! That’s why I buy parts truck/van donors so I can test drive them before swapping. Nothing worse than doing a swap and realizing the engine or trans is pouched, it’s too big of a risk.

Also although the 4L80E is vastly superior to its little brother I would still think of a rebuild at 200,000 as preventative maintenance. Pay me now or pay me later!

Thanks....it was awesome seeing it on the ground and outside, even if it was just to sweep the garage out.
Gotta get it cleaned out, registered and aligned. Then it will be out a lot more.

That is how I felt when I pulled mine out on Wednesday with the new wheels on.

Those wheels are different....but different is good!!! I'm glad you got it rolling, at least temporarily. If it's not one thing it's another with these beasts
Did you ever take the spacer out of yours?

It's a club I don't wanna be part of!!! Lol
My spacer is scheduled for removal next weekend. Then get driving and hope she settles. If not, gonna have to look at lift shackles.
