Thanks for all the help. I think I now have most of the parts needed to properly do the 4L80 conversion. I got a nice rebuild stock torque converter instead of using that rusty one. Got a new pan with drain, gasket and new filter. Got the TPS that goes along with the new harness and tranny controller. New shifter is ready to go. Just need to figure out what I need to connect to the existing cooler lines, vent lines, etc.
I was directed to a good deal on the proper NOS fuel tank with hardware. And a fan switch relocation bracket that is being fabed up for me - thank you @springer1981 for both!
The exhaust system I have on it is really, really rusty, but has no leaks that I can see. However, I am sure I will need to use a sawsall to get it out so I can R&R the tranny. I will attempt to get the exhaust apart but I doubt it will come apart willingly! That ride over to the exhaust shop is going to be noisy!
I guess I will take it to a local exhaust shop to replace the whole exhaust as the individual exhaust parts have the usual HMMWV "tax" and added high shipping "tax" bonus. I have the tail pipe going out in front of the driver back wheel. No fording.
Any suggestions for either a "reasonably priced" M998 stock complete replacement I might not be finding?
If I go for a local shop - any advice on what exhaust configuration they should install for me?
