Took her for a test drive today. Not bad at all for only having a base tune. Next up, dyno time...

Nice build bro. Amazing how much work is involved with this swap. Congrats and enjoy.
I picked up pretty much everything from a wrecked 04. Complete engine/trans/fuel tank/evap canister/ECU/wiring/Dash/ABS/Brake Booster, etc.... That was the easiest way to do it, instead of piecing things together. There were some stumbling blocks along the way, like brake lines being routed slightly different, ABS module having different mounting points and an extra brake line. Had some fun getting the evap canister put in and running the vent lines. If I didn't have TRBO VNM doing most of the work, it probably wouldn't have been finished... This project probably would have been done long ago if I hadn't been hurt and recovering from knee surgery. That sidelined me for a long time. Basically, I now have a 97 body on a complete 04 setup. The only 04 parts that aren't stock are the fuel system and the Posi-ported Eaton.
First dyno session went well. 430/430 with belt slipping at the top end. Getting a different belt and swapping the lower pulley, then back to the dyno.
