Do you want tbi, or will be converting to carb? If carb, then just need to add control for torque converter lockup. If tbi, then harness and ecu and fuel

I’m not sure which way to go but looks like tbi would not be too difficult to set up, thanks for your help

If harness complete and have ecu, essentially just putting it all together. Would need to add a fuel tank with fuel pump and fuel injection rated connections/hoses.

Don’t believe I have the ecu, just the harness to the fuse block

Passenger side of the pan rail looks to be a th350. 700r4's were available in the 3/4 ton pick-ups in '87 along with the th400. Don't know if they made availability of those different for the 'burbs or not, but I guess it's a moot point anyhow as this looks to be a th350.

I’ll get a better picture tomorrow but there is a modulator valve on the passenger side it’s hiding in the picture, thanks I have to figure how to get it out of the trailer, maybe find a tractor, backhoe or a low limb close, I have a engine lift but not sure it will pick all this up at once.
