Looks like fun. A swap that should be much more common than it is. Keep us posted.

If you don't mind me asking...how much would you charge to do one for a 94?

I don't mind you asking. I have given thought to doing this on the side. But as for now, I'm not interested. To many freakin family projects!

I have a 70 F-100 needing inner fenders put in, and my 79 is needing TLC before Hot Rod power tour

I spent some time tonight with dad removing the harness and PCM from the 5.3L

I was impressed with the under hood fuse block on the 95. There is plenty of room to add in the fuses for the LSx. Check it out

nice
well i understand you not wanting to take on the project.
i just dont want to pay 650.00 for someone to make a harness for me, but i guess it's not a bad price considering all the plugs, and wires will be brand new vs 2-5years old.
hurry and get this in, i want to see what motor mounts you use and if you do headers...
