            going to give it one more day and to see if anyone has flexplate setup for a 4l80E then I will order a new setup. just had someone try to take me for a ride on ls1 tech over 1.

            buy a 4l80E/th400 slip yoke and u-joint
            gotta find a place to shorten driveshaft
            still cant find Dr. phills phone number in my phone after switching from sprint to Verizon. grrrrr
            and I have to install the fuel sump into the gas take.

                Really you have my attention. Where do I find such a kit. What year axle.
                Any info would be great.

                  I think TRZ has a kit too - but I can't find it on their website.

                    Definitely keeping tabs on this build. Personally I'd like to do a very similar setup in my 78 sometime soon. Also check out maliburacing.com for other questions that you can't find answers here. Lots of swaps and turbos there as well. Good luck with the build!
