got that, going with a LQ9/4L80E conversion. As far as the beat to fit method goes, I have no issues with that, just trying to keep it to a bare minimum if you know what I mean. Just figured that I would throw it out there to see if anyone has done the kit on one of these conversion so I can see what they might have run into as far as issues go.

 

Oh, gotcha. Would be helpful if you specified a non-standard engine setup next time

I don't know anyone over here who has done a GENIII engine in a GMT-800 truck, but there are several on ls1truck.com. They might have some info.

 

I should have specified, but when I caught it, I added a post specifying. I will check that site out there, thanks.

 

Once you get it all figured out be sure to post pics! I'd love to see the end result

 

The build will not actually start until about march of 2010. I will be deployed to Iraq again for a year (JAN 09- JAN 2010). Right now I am collecting info, and once I get in country there will be some serious internet shoping happening. I hope to have everything together so when I get back, I can get her together.

 

I will definetly be posting a writup, and documenting as much as I can. Thinking of going with a 408 iron block with the 4L80E setup now and stepping up the turbo size to a 76mm.

 

does anyone knows wath size of slicks can i put on somo 16x7.5 rims?

 

WTF. lol

 

turbo will be a little small

 

I feel bad for just reading this entire thread, thinking it was new.
