So last night the patient got wheeled into the operating room in preparation for brain surgery. Current plan is after removing several smaller items from the engine bay is to pull the transmission and transfer case from below and then the engine from above out of the Suburban. Then I would pull the Suburban out of the garage and wheel in my older pickup and pull the NV4500 transmission, clutch, etcetera out of it and pull it back out of the garage.
I would then get all the brackets and accessories swapped over to the new motor and get all the prep work I can do in advance taken care of. Then I will wheel the Suburban back into the garage and drop the new engine in and new to it transmission into the Suburban.
I know I will probably have to order a few more little things along the way, but I think I have 98% of all the parts I will need on hand.
