Hmmm. What's this... the 5.3 is back at home? Yup! All rod and main bearings looked brand new still. So just changed a couple seal/gaskets, the timing chain which was fine anyways (had a new one I got free so why not) and the oil pump. Just a few more small things to do to it. Then I can drop it in
Getting some fresh new (cast iron) engine paint on the 5.3
Whole engine clear coated, minus the oil pan which I still need to swap out with my 98-02 f- Body (camaro/firebird) oil pan
Well ****... Houston we have a problem! My -10AN bulkhead fitting hits the oil pick-up tube and doesn't have enough room. Guess I will have to cut the bulkhead fitting flush with the inside of the oil pan, and have it welded on instead of bolted on. Lol
Modified -10AN fitting, just needs to be welded into the oil pan, and the problem is fixed
Turbo oil return fitting issue fixed. Damn $30 weld... Lol. Should be good to go now.
Oil pan mounted up, AN fitting repainted black, and then all cleared up.
More parts installed and clear coated...
Sneak peak on D-Day. Lol
HELL YES, ITS IN!!!! It's officially "LS" swapped
Turbo headers on, power steering lines hooked up, and working on the intake now, since a sensor hits the firewall... Lol
Sensor hitting the firewall problem fixed. Lol
intake manifold and alternator back on
Well ****... Rear coil pack on the passenger side hits the firewall. May have to move them all up closer towards the intake anyways though. Lol
Well, hood isn't gonna close on the burb with the truck intake... Guess I'm gonna have to cut a hole in the hood. Lol

thanks
.................................................. .................................................. ......................
And it fits with the hood on and closed now...
Just had to remove this (which now I need to plug the hole) and the intake cover. Lol
Fuel pump, and regulator/filter mounted up. Need one more AN fitting, then I can plumb it to the tank... And start running the hard line up to the firewall

thanks guys.
.................................................. .................................................. ....
Fuel system plumbed up to the gas tank. Now the slightly harder part... to run the hard line up to the firewall, and figure out how I'm gonna make it run from the outside of the frame rail to the inside, all while keeping it one solid piece of hard line.
