You will also need the passenger side axle.

I would also look into doing an L67 'top swap' basically only changing out the heads on up and adding a blower to your current engine. Costs are much cheaper too- like $500-1000.

The advantage to doing that- is you keep your higher 3.29 gear ratio (you go down to 2.93 if you swap in the 4t65hd- so you'd be slower in the 1/4). Plus, you keep your higher compression which makes more power on the M90 anyways.

Just another option to throw out there...
