I am still stuck on the fuel issue but none the less project MUST move on.

Spent the last 2 days finally stripping, prepping, & painting the transmission.
It is a 00 2wd 4L80e...Only mods the Transmission getting is a MagHytec Deep Pan, Transgo HD 2 Shift Kit, Lokar Dip Stick, and lines hooked up to the biggest transmission cooler I can find.

I choose Purple b/c same color as the amazing ATS Diesel Transmission plus it is the wifey's favorite color. I tell her I painted it b.c its your favorite color and your so supporting of the build...NOT...the guys and everyone else...Just a lil mimick of ATS.

I could not find Purple gloss anywhere! I went onto amazon, well there was three pack, primer, paint and clear coat! Awww, I never primed nor cleared my engine block. It is too late by now. So I ordered the three pack and Compare which holds up longer...Motor or Tranny paint?

Here are some pics...

Cleaning and Stipping...Used Purple Power, then hit it with wire wheel, then wiped down and blown dry









All Primed Up

Just got my oil cooler lines in.

Tonight going to order my Mag Hytec Deep Pan, Transgo HD2 Shift kit

I was originally going with Schoenfield Conversion Headers...but Since I am 2wd I have a few more options...like Actually NBS headers....

What you guys think? I WANT THE TRUEST FORM OF LONG TUBES

Amazin ATS LOL nice one.

[foreverfalcon40]

I went to order my schoenfeld headers...I can only find for 2wd trucks.


What is out there for 4wd trucks. I am swapping in a 2wd 80e...but I am still retaining my torsion bars. I do not have a transfer case & front drive shaft.

Ended up ordering the Painted Headers off of Amazon like a $50 difference plus free shipping. Then they got me with sales tax which I never paid before. Still came out $15-20 cheaper then anyplace else via Ebay, Summit, & Jegs.

I got painted as I didn't trust the Armor Coat Ceramic Coating. I <3 Black!
I will start test fitting the motor and trans. Once that Is complete and header's have been massaged into place I will send them out to get Ceramic Coated in Black!

Thanks!

My build has come to a halt due to the fact of cold weather. There for I can't clean up, prep and paint the engine bay.

I think I have everything in order...for the swap ( think) EXCEPT FOR FUEL

I want to tackle the wiring harness b/c IMO this will take me longest.

Where is the best HOW-TO-Step by step process. I am an amateur when it comes to wiring and reading diagrams. (Running lights and gauges is my specialty...anything after that I am a fish out of water).

There is a sticky on the forums for wiring, is that what you guys have used?

Little bit confused your using factory 411 computer and harness, but buying all these LS2 sensors I'm assuming all these sensors plug up?

[foreverfalcon40]

I am sorry for the confusion.

I have a 99 OBS Chevy OBS 4x4
I also have a 411 PCM that needs to be installed. Install is easy (just time consuming) need to take each wire and just re-pin it.

What is going in...
6.0, 2wd 4L80e, E-Fans from 06 Sierra
I have the Harness and PCM out of the 00 Chevy HD in which the motor and trans came out of
