    Looks good, just need to adjust the linkage so the backup lights aren't on in anything but reverse.

    It's the little things that define the quality of a build. When something as obvious of the simple failed adjustment of a back up light switch because the project was rushed to complete... One tends to wonder, What not so obvious details were missed?

    Cool! We just got a new Chevy 2500 with the l8t, works great as our race trailer tow vehicle. Would love to build a full-size Chevy with this engine, maybe we can bring back out 67 tempest with the new 400!

    Wonder what the total cost of this came out to? I have a 69 chevy C10 that I’d love to drop the L8T in, but after seeing all of this, it seems almost impossible for the normal blue collar guy. I have a 2020 AT4 2500 with the L8T.

    This is a nice build, but why would anyone use the OLD 4 speed auto?! The gear ratios suck bad, especially when used with the cam profile in the 6.6 engine. Also, I wonder why the coil covers were left off.
