'85 c10
I am working on a C10... long project. Right now I am putting together a 5.3 for it. I was going to go with a 6.0, but I got a hell of a deal on a L33.
L33 long block with 243s- $200
Right now here are some other parts I have gathered that will be part of the motor build.
Lunati Dual Gold Valve Springs- $200
Head bolts from Oriellys- $65
LS7 lifters- $122
GM Headgaskets- $65
Comp 7.4 Pushrods $105
I'm not sure what cam I am going to use. All opinions are welcomed, I am leaning towards the MS3. I know some of you will say it's too big of a cam. I'm not building a track truck, but it is a toy and I want some decent power out of it. May go with something a little smaller. I still plan on ordering ARP rod bolts and all new bearings.
Will post pics shortly

Good luck buddy. I am doing a C10 as well. Custom harness and hopefully twin turbos by next year. We have similar wheels, but your trucks stance is nasty. How did you get it that low?

It's been a few years since I've posted. Moved twice and working on average 100 hours a week or more has had me busy.
I have thrown a '98 LS1/4l60e into my truck. I plan on swapping in an 80e soon. I had one rebuilt last summer and had a Transgo HD2 shift kit thrown in. Had a driveshaft built at DriveTrain of Mesquite in Mesquite, Texas. Went with a transmember crossmember from TejasMetalWorks. The wire harness is from PSI Conversions. I am using Fbody efans. I'm going to try and make some pacesetter long tubes for an fbody work.
