So I would like to keep this as short as possible but with some detail. So here goes:

I started last winter with an 85 K10 factory. it was base model completely stock.

I then pulled the motor in favor of a 99 4.8L swap which overall went pretty well minus a lot of money and time. Gotta love the little stuff.

After I finished that up I installed 97 sebring convertible seats. I don't have a tilt column yet... a little tight but manageable. It would be a lot easier if it wasn't lifted and a slight hop wasn't required to get in.

I was running a TH350 with np208 but the trans finally quit me so i bought an 88 Blazer with a 700r4 complete for all the required swap parts. so this is where i am at on this and i am stuck on the TCC set up. I coast up to a lot of stop signs and stop lights and what not and am wondering if the torque converter will unlock when coasting? if anyone knows more about this i would appreciate any input. if anyone has any questions to anything i have already done to the truck feel free to ask. i will go more in depth. thanks.
