Let me know how helpfull my email was.

 

That's awesome. That gives me a lot better idea of what it's going to take. Did you run a new style fuel tank with the electric pump or just upgrade your existing one?

 

I put a new 1987 tank with the slosh baffles and a new 1987 fuel pump pick up and sending unit on my truck. Then added a walbro 255 intank pump.

 

hmm, yeah, that would definetly work, really didn't think about that. I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

 

Say I could get ahold of an LS2 for decently cheap comparatively. I'd have 400hp/400trq straight out the gate. I found one tonight with a 4L60E tranny for $2500. Got me thinking again...

 

I did similar to formulized. I used my factory tank but added an 87 sending unit. I got a ton of parts from an 01 C2500 my buddy parted out, including the sending unit from the 01. I stripped that sending unit down and stole the pump from it. I ran in to some issues finding a sump screen ( 01 sending unit had 2 small pick ups on the pump ) I ended up finding a screen at Orielly's that was as big as the pump and just cut it and slid it over the pump like a sock and hose clamped it.

If the pump goes out, I'll do as formulized did or get one from a Vortec 90's truck.

As you can see in my picture of my tank, I cut the supply and return and put an earl's tube to -6 on the sender and put braided stainless line to the factory steel lines that run up the frame. Not sure if this was wise or not, will find out in time I guess. They didn't show any sign of rust, so should be fine. I used earl's tube to -6 on them as well.

The way I ran my fuel lines I ended up using 10 feet of stainless braided from the pass side frame to the fuel inlet/outlet on the 5.3, and another roughly 5 feet under the truck from the tank to the hard lines.

It will all fall together as you do it.

Good luck!

 

You should buy it and resell it, atleast double you money and go on.

 

haha, I gotcha. Take it the LS2 isn't the greatest idea to put in an 84 Silverado DD that I may boost or spray in the future?

 

Getting closer. Have been running wires for a while. Just a bit ago, I wired my last sensor. All sensors are ran, done finished! I have a couple of battery cables to make up yet, and a few wires to run in the cab of coarse. I have till Jan 31st anyways, don't get paid till then. Down to only needing my PCM programmed at that point. Then its GO TIME!

Between now and then, I need to rewire the instrument cluster ( got one from a 90 burb ). Still have to fab up my H pipe and a radiator hold down/fan mount.

I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

 

oh no that is not it at all, I am just saying that you could buy that sell it and take the money that you made and psy for your truck 6.0. Then you have 0 monies in it.
