It's alive!!! again

Well, I finally got everything done with the 700r4 swap. Sorry for all of the stupid last minute questions. I'm taking it to a transmission shop to get the tv cable adjusted and haven't driven it on the street yet. If anyone has any questions about the swap let me know. I learned a lot because I did a lot wrong.

Do you have any pics?? Or a quick run down of what to do and what NOT to do... I just bought a 700r4 off a friend, just started doing the homework on what needs to be done.

I didn't take any pictures, my wife had the camera with her out of town.
Do a lot of searches on here, there's a lot of info although some of it's hard to find. Here's a few things that I hadn't though about before the swap.

-Don't expect to find the transmission mounts, transfercase torque mounts, seals, ect. at the parts store. I had to order everything, they didn't even have part numbers.
- I wish I had removed the transfercase and tranny as one piece, the transfercase was difficult to balance on a regular floor jack.
-The 700r4 is metric so you need a different nut for the linkeage and a different bolt for the tv cable mount on the tranny.
-attach the cooling lines and get the dipstick in place before you bolt up the transmission.
- the dipstick for a 700r4 is different then the th350 although I've heard that both will work. the 700r4 has a grommet that has to be removed if you would want to use the th350 dipstick.
-tv cable, I couldn't find a stock one that had the right length of the inner cable. Aftermarket is the way to go.
I know these are all really obvious but these are the things that held me up.
