Basically got everything disconnected/ removed for pluckage of the old drivetrain. Going to drop the 205 separately, then pull the engine and trans together. Once I get that out we’ll get her all pressure washed and cleaned up.
Keeping the engine bone stock?
Yes, completely stock. There will be some tweaks to the tune but that’s it.

Yessir. Those short stands are my old norcos but yours are still safely chillin.Is this D's orange one? I'm jealous. Love the jack stands
Got d’s pressure washer over here today. Should be getting some action by Sunday.
Detail everything. So I can just copy along.
I ordered the 4wd to 2wd conversion from your Wicked Wrench for my 8L90E. Should make Fugly a nice cruiser.

Fugly it can't be THAT bad. What're youZ planning to control that 8l90 with ? I ask because my 16 silverAdo has one, and gm programmed tcu for the AFM and caused lots of problems with functionality, until i used a tune to correct it.
Stock computer. Engine is staying stock, with a little bit of tune.

She out. All one piece. Had to drop the starter was it.
What was the donor vehicle? (Just curious) a small tune is all i did, and raised mine abt 40hp but more importantly corrected 8l90 shift issues the 2016+ silverado (burbs, suvs ?) were having.Stock computer. Engine is staying stock, with a little bit of tune.

2017 8L90E.
Got her stripped down and ready for her first test fit.
I am so jealous that you are moving forward on your LT swap. I am temporarily unemployed and not able to spend funds on mine so I am stuck with my L8T sitting on the stand and 6L90E on the floor of the garage. I will definitely be paying close attention to your swap.
I am going to run the Holley Terminator X max kit though because I am tired of fighting all the nanny features of the GM software in my Gen 4 LS swapped 76 Regal. I am struggling to figure out if I want to keep direct injection too. My 25K mile motor already has carbon buildup on the valves. Not incredibly bad but jeez...I can see where people see it as a problem.
I am also jealous of your location. I desperately need to gut out of Illinois.
Keep it up!
