My 1989 C1500 RCSB SS Bed Twin Turbo 5.3
Thought I would share my build over here for the ones that do not get on ls1tech often. 
Anyways, should have her up and running very soon. Here's the scoop!
1989 C1500, Regular Cab SWB, StepSide bed. Junkyard 5.3, TR224 Camshaft, Dual Springs, Pushrods, TH350 Trans, 10" 3200 Converter, Stock 3.08 Gears W/Welded Gears, 80lb Seimen Deka's, Aeromotive 340 pump, Stainless Lines, C6 Vette Flipped Manifolds, Custom Front Mount Design (By me), Twin CX GT35 T4 Turbo's, 2.5" Hot Side, 3" Downpipes, AEM Wideband, HPTuned by me (3 Bar OLSD), Running on E85.
Suspension, McGaughreys 4/6 Drop with shocks.
My goal is to leave the outside stock as can be, lightly sanded and then satin cleared to keep that old look. Thin whitewalls on stock steelies. I have some cool trick ideas to keep it farmed out. Where the turbos barely poke thru the hood I will be using a 1 gallon metal vegetable can (yes, corn/tomatoe sticker still on can) cut in half and welded to the hood to provide a cooling duct to the turbos. Shovel handle will be attached to the B&M Shifter to shovel thru the gears lol. And of coarse a bail of hay in the back. Rowdy, raw and plain nasty! Gonna be a tire frying monster lol.
Now for the build pics!
