I just have a few other things that I would like to do. Selling this truck would allow some financial freedoms to do...- SquareUp

86 Sierra Classic. Bad Block... Now what?
I can get my hands on an LT-1 with a 4160e transmission. Wiring harness and ecu Will this bolt up to my transfer case? I know a lot of guys are doing LS swaps.. If I do the crate motor, does anyone have any suggestions on where to go? Seems to be a lot of options out there- SquareUp
