Congrats, doing swaps in these trucks is harder than you would think.. I did a 4.3L to 6.0L swap before, I dont think I'll ever do it again except for the right price.. We ran into the same problem with the tranny. Once you turn the truck on, it will start out in 1st gear, but once it shifts out, it will never go back in. However, we had 2nd and 3rd, no OD. Dont drive it like that for too long because the guy I did it for ended up smoking the transmission in about 40 miles.

Sure it will....I have a stock 700r4 behind my 450hp 383. It has a shift kit and the 1-2 servo...that's it. My bro's RCSB z71 truck had a Lq9 with a 4l60e and a shift kit. No problems at all. Just take it easy and when its time to have fun go for it but know that will be only last as you treat it.

I had the same problem a few weeks on a swingarm for my 450R. Overnite package shipped on wednesday didn't get to me til the following monday. I got to talk to who I was told was one of the top UPS people and I "politely" told him what I thought of his shipping company. To make a long story short I received a written apology from the manager of each hub that my package went through and from the snotty little bitch that answered the phone when I called
