We have a '96 2Dr Tahoe 4x4 with 6" lift and 35" tires. Thinking about putting in a newer engine/ tranny and transfer case in from a late year Tahoe/ Escalade/ Pickup. Also wanting to do some upgrades to bump up the HP.

Have you tried it? Will the new drive train fit with minor modifications- or is it major? Would I be better off sticking with original tranny and transfer case?

Open to suggestions and greatly appreciate your input.

My cousin installed a cammed out 5.3 LS on his 96 gmc and has been running great since the swap. He is also working on installing a 4L80 but he's rig is 2wd
