I do like that it is mechanical, and I very well might end up running it one day. The 4L80E came in these trucks so it bolts all in like it should, hooks up to my shift cable, is clocked right for my t-case, and I already have a factory stand-alone computer for it. Downside is the torque converter stall (out of a 6.5) and I'll have to swap my t-case input.

And IIRC the lengths are about the same so I should be able to use my factory drivelines.

Is that a 6.2/6.5 van controller? That's already a big piece of the puzzle then

Ya, same one I mean.

But at the same time, I don't think I could live with a 4BT auto...
