700R4 in my '86 K5 is well toasted, and I'll be replacing it with a 4L80E this weekend.
I will be using the 4L80E that came out of a '95 Suburban 2500, and converting it to full manual operation so I won't need the trans controller. I will be mating that with a NP208 that was behind a 32 spline/round pattern SM465.
I know the crossmember will need to be moved, and driveshaft lengths changed, which is a non issue for me.
Was just about to order up a Spicer 3R to 1350 combination joint to swap over the Suburban output yoke to the K5 driveshaft, when I did some quick checking, and learned that apparently ALL GM transfer cases use a 32 spline output shaft, so length issues aside, the stock K5 rear driveshaft should slide right into the replacement NP208, correct? The longer length of the 4L80E will actually be a benefit to me, as my existing driveshaft is a bit short after the lift.
