Depending on cash flow I may start looking for a t-56 as well, but I'll prob just lean towards keeping the nv right now and getting a new clutch.

Btw while were in the subject, I despise my rear gear ratio and the whole one wheel wonder thing.
What if anything do you recommend for a rear end swap?

you'll need a new clutch & flywheel anyway - the 4.3 setup won't work
as for the rear end - if you plan on keepin the nv3500, get you some 3.73s or 4.10s (depending on tire size, whether you do more highway or city driving, & cam choice). if you're going t-56, you'll want something more around a 4.56 or 4.88.
a TrueTrac is one of your best bets to fix your one-wheel wonder.
if you're feelin adventurous, you may as well go ahead & get a 6 lug, 14 bolt rear - it'll hold up better.

if you end up going with the 14 bolt, you'll wanna do that & re-gear at the same time as your trans swap if you also go t-56

01+ they'll have aluminum heads

a bunch of this kind of info is all over the place here... just use the handy-dandy search button up top

Okay found a Hummer H2 6.0 on eBay with low miles for $2500.
is that good? Price wise and comparability wise? I assume it's an lq9.

did they give you lube first? and no its a lq4, the 9 was sss and escalade only

Okay so not a good price haha..
So the H2 has a 325 hp lq4?

yes

now that's just creepy...

i watched Zombieland last night & the girls supposedly toasted the Esky & they ended up replacing it with an H2... to show how dorky i am, the first thing i thought was "well, it sucks they lost the LQ9 for an LQ4"

Hey Guys Still going to do the swap,
Having a little trouble selling selling my Chevelle. As soon as its gone Ill get it done!!!

i know where you can get an LS3 with less than 100 miles on it... he'll most likely want top-dollar for it, though

LS3 huh?
Well the prob is not finding a motor, but having the funds!
Thought putting a ls2 or 3 was opening up a whole new can of worms?

Btw Zebra, you thought about making your a full time all-wheel Drive?
Sounds like that may be pretty awesome!!
