I'm in process of putting an '01 6.0/4L80E into my '61 stepside. Maybe we can swap some info. Mounted engine and tranny last week. Passenger side ex. manifold fit good from '01 Silverado 2500; but driver side needs an ex. manifold from a 99 T'Am with LS1: I know 'cause I borrowed one from a fellow swapper & it makes entire setup look right at home. Gotta find that manifold!? Made our own mts. using '01's from engine--no plates. So my install may be higher than some. You gonna install ac?

 

Hey luvbowties. I now have the engine in and running great! My next step is to install A/C and I'm going to use the factory A/C compressor and mounts. I used a custom motor mount setup and had to fabricate the final setup so that I could get the engine where I wanted it... I did have to notch the frame a little to get the driver side manifold in, but I was able to use the stock manifolds from an 02' silverado. Let me know if you run into a bind. I would like to see how your setup comes out. What are you doing for wiring? I worked pretty hard to keep everything clean.

 

Subscribing, My LQ4 is on the way for my 72 GMC 1500 2wd.

 

I have a 1991 K/C 1500 haha

 

Nowadays there are varieties of mini trucks available along with strong body, strong chassis, powerful engine and a good look. One can easily go out for any of them as many options are available in it. Suppose if got confused then ask the expert or try any of the search engines.

 

It's nice to have this section anyway thank you in advance.
