What have you done to your rig today?

Sounds about right, but now that you’ve done it it’ll be easier to take it apart and reinstall it after you find out you missed something 🖕

Well, went and messed with it this afternoon. Found that the TQ isn’t seating all the way down. While I did install and turn until is seated down about 1/2-3/4”, it’s still not seated far enough in. The TQ weld nuts that fasten it to the flex plate are sticking out from the bellhousing mating surface by about 1/4”. I got it down further and just past flush, but it still needs to go further. Now to figure out why.

Multiple sets of splines to align, you probably have another set of splines to go before it’s homed. I know it’s like 4 clicks on a 4l60

Ya, been a LONG time since I was involved with a TQ install, and I wasn’t the one doing it. This is my first. Sounds like there’s three seats to be fully seated. I’ve only felt 2.

Date night at Hollywood Studios now. So I’ll try again tomorrow morning.
 
After much fiddle fawkin around the TC finally seated. I twisted and wiggled and spun and pulled and reinstalled for 30 minutes and it finally just popped in place.

Then another 3 hours of getting the whole kit and kaboodle in the jeep!

Should have big blocked swapped it instead....

Nah just kidding. Looks good man.
 
Fixed my exhaust leaks and am at the point now where I just need to drive it so I can continue to chase leaks (worst being the rear main) and let the EFI learn more.
The main thing that's bugging me though is the Morel lifters are LOUD. I keep thinking my valve lash is out but when I spot check them they're all good.

My 4bt swapped K10 needs the third gear upgrade in the current trans. PO of the truck had this on his porch and a box of rebuild parts and said could have it all…just finally got the chance to pick it up. Contemplating seeing if I can source a longbed driveshaft from Rusty’s and run the 2wd trans to keep me mobile while I rebuild the 4wd trans. Or it will just lay in my garage floor and I will occasionally trip over it.

You can run a d300 np241 or atlas behind a 2wd sm465 with the advanced sdspters tailhousing
