damn!!! looks and sounds very nice. i cant wait to see it with new paint.
a 6L 80E swap in my 87 sierra 4x4 seems like it could be in my future.

Is this a Harness Wiring Spreadsheet? I would like to save myself some money and do my own harness work, if I could find out what I needed to eliminate and keep.

Engine and trans have lived through everything I've put at them over the past 5 years. I've long hauled it on Hot Rod Power Tour and made about 20 passes down the track. IT gets about 19mpg and runs a 14.6 @ 93, all with the same junk yard engine and trans that I put in it in 07. I think its about time to start modding it, wouldn't you think?

BOOOST!!

Bowtie, just read your build...twice. I am putting a similar swap in my '84 C10 and wanted to pick your brain. I have an '02 Wiring harness taken apart now with all the unnecessary wires and pins removed. Just need to figure out how to separate the rest and how to run the relays and fuse boxes for the constant and key on. Would love your input. As for mounts I am going with Dirty Dingo.

If you do add boost are you going single our twins? Putting twins on my Lemans and maybe a single T70 or T76 should these dual LS swaps not bankrupt me first.
