Then I have to decide if I wanna get into modding it, or not. I got a sizeable bonus coming in a couple months and cant decide if I wanna swap the tranny for a 4l80 and a turbo or leave it alone...

No. Turbo and an 80 in that ole truck would he freakin sweet. Or even a mild built motor would be ok. Heads cam throttle body lts and a good tune would make it really fun

I had a built 5.3 in the past that I loved the sound of but was thinking some type of FI this time.

Looking for some longtubes atm, anyone know what fits this swap?? TBSS or fbody maybe?

I have a 68 c10 with a 5.3 swap as well Josh. What kind of throttle cable is that you are using? I like the way it looks? What type of trans cross member did you end up using?

Cheap header solution, buy some for a BBC for that chassis. Get some LS flanges (eBay), and mate them together. The tubes will only require mild massaging. I did this for my father's LS1 swapped 67' C10, they came out great. Cost effective as well.

I just went with shorties for one of the 03+ trucks and changed over my mufflers to super 44s.

also added a baby cam xr259hr 206/212 low lift, and z06 springs.

I fabricated it. I don't like how some people just cut up the factory bezel, it is too straight up and down.
