Still wait in on the transmission to be delivered or finishing up its build?

I'm having a hard time posting on here and adding pictures. Is anyone else?

Update on the build. Got the trans and transfer case yesterday. I installed the standalone ecu already and wired in 99% of it. I installed the adapter plate and ran into a few things. The o2 sensor on the passenger side in the header hits the adapter plate. I relocated it to the bottom of the header and I have to extend the harness. Also idk if this was intended for 4x4 but the front diff where the bolts hold the driveshaft on will hit the adapter plate. I'm going to machine a little notch so the bolts clear. Also had to trim part of the bell housing to clear a header also. It wasn't a vital part but now I can't put on the under shield for the torque convertor. Also had to trim part of the body for clearance of the transfer case and a little hammer persuasion. The factory cross member is almost perfect I have to weld on a L bracket for the mount but that's it for it to be held in there. Still need to figure out shifter and 4x4 switch then I'll measure for driveshafts and take it all out and have the trans built by a guy I know that I've had build many transmissions. I'll post pics in a few if it will let me

Awesome bro. Do u know if you will need to redo your collector/crossover tube cause of the new trans going in?

so the pipe does fit properly. also i know you where looking for a quote on this trans swap. lets just put it this way its one off i cant really quote you anything because there is so many things that ive had to modify and weld and re wire and im not even done getting it all 2 work. id just do a manual swap seems to be much easier but a little more pricey

Thanks brother. I appreciate u getting back to me on that. I figured a quote would be hard just by looking at you photos and fab work you're putting in. I'll just see how long my trans last for now. Congrats on the new trans tho! Everything is looking great

Shoot man. That is some exciting stiff right there. When do the drive shafts return?

Is that module in your hand how you shift the transmission? As in do you always have to manually push the buttons?

The module is the shifter it's just like a push button setup put it in drive and done go drive or I can do plus an minus gears it's very easy. I'm making a bracket to have it held in where the factory shifter was. Also the driveshaftS should be back this week
