With a project like this, the lift would be the LAST thing on my mind. Getting everything else to work right would be my priority. If the E4OD is toast, what tranny will you use? Be carefull which trans you put behind the 5.8...ie DON'T put an AOD behind it, I hear that it won't handle the torque from the 5.8 without some serious work done to it. If you have a C6, go for it. If you end up using an AOD, then use the 5.0. You probably have 8.8 rears, so no need to worry there, they will work fine with either motor. Just make sure that the engine matches the engine management system and use the right harness and sensors for the computer in use.

Like eco said . Gether running first. But the lift will work frames r same from rad support back 80-96
