Update since it's been nearly 3 years. Truck has been put up and sitting most of that time and has been messed up since Jan this year when I blew out the rear end and busted the housing so it's been a issue finding a empty housing since I have a TruTrac and all new gears and internals for it now. But now I'm getting a bunch of parts together and the truck bug has bit me again so a lot of upgrades should be coming in the upcoming months. I went and bought a Precision Industries 2800 stall converter and I need to order the Stage 3 BTR cam and some springs. Also going to order a 40k tru-cool trans cooler, Melling high volume oil pump and going to go ahead and swap out the water pump for a high volume and a new thermostat since the stock one has over 200k+ miles on it. Might as well swap out as much mechanical stuff that needs maintenance while tearing into the engine. I've found some headers also just been trying to figure out the rear end deal before I order a ton of other stuff. But I bought a rear end last night that turned out to be a 07-Up GM 8.6 but I got it for a steal so I will resell that and found a 02 GM 8.6 tonight with a busted G80 for $100 and pretty sure it has discs on it but not 100% yet. Will update once I go snatch it out. Need to order a transgo shift kit also just not sure if I want the HD2 or if they offer a better one now. Either way hopefully within the next few weeks it will be rolling around again and I can either let it go to paint shop or to the performance shop and one of them can get started. I missed my appt to have it painted when the rear end blew cause it was going in at the end of Jan. More updates soon....
