I got this whole setup for 850! I am putting it into my 1980 K10 4wdI need a few parts but this is one hell of a deal!!! i just need to figure out how to make one of the 1/2ton t cases work... or maybe get an old one from a 3/4 or 1 ton. anyone know? thanks! and tell me what you think of this deal.... from the salvage yard 30 day warranty on both... not sure on the mileage because the interior of the truck got burned... thanks!
the only thing i didn't get was the starter.. i know a coil is missing and the filler tube but i can go back anytime and get those off another vehicle... it was too cold to keep looking around for one... my dad and i pulled the harness and motor.. the salvage yard just provided lift support... it was a high temp of 7 degrees today and we were there from 9 till 4 today
anyone know what all i need to switch to cable throttle and not DBW... it was a 2004 model i believe...
thanks
WOW that is a great deal! Where did you get it?! I want to go there!

The difference between winning and losing, is having a 2nd stage.
That's a steal! I'm having trouble finding a motor with under 200K miles for $1K.
Good luck with the swap! And you might re-think the cable tb. I'd go grab the gas pedal and adapt it since the motor is already DBW.

small salvage yard by Richland Center, WI I head the DBW stinks and limits the spped the throttle opens... is this bs? the interior was burnt! no gas pedal or wiring inside the cab... is it going to be a ton more work to adapt to cable?

Not sure which case you are chasing, but a np241 should do the trick. Somewhere between 88-92 is what you're looking for, obviously passenger side drop. Somewhat hard to find. Not only will it allow for hookup to your auto trans, but also has vss, which is important. The adapter (if the 241 is behind a 700r4) should be the same at the 80e I think, but don't take that to the bank. Worse case, sell off the 80 and get a 60, I know they bolt up for sure.
I don't know why everyone is scared of DBW. I prefer it now that I've tried it

It would actually be easier to keep the dbw. If you go cable, you need to switch throttle bodies, change ecm, run cables, etc. With dbw, all you need to do is find a pedal assembly with the wire and matching tac module. It just plugs in and goes. There is no lag, there is no performance loss at all. Plus, if you keep vss, you get cruise control for free.
WOW! I can't believe it's been over two years since I got this engine/ trans. I moved/ got married/ child on the way/ and getting promoted.. Been Very busy to say the least. So I apologise for not being on here.. No excuses though. I also had been concentrating on getting my Mazda wankel turbo project somewhat finished.. I hope to start working on this swap again sometime soon...
