Default Twigy's Mega Thread Slow RCSB Build

What's up guys I'm finally gaining some traction on my build so I figure I'd post my progress so far. Here's a quick rundown.

Scooped a fairly clean 2001 RCSB V6 truck off of marketplace. It was decent not perfect but not destroyed. I also found a 5.3 with no oil pressure and two KO'ed 4l80e cores. Basically started from scratch everything needed to be replaced. The truck has 240k miles on it but no major rust or issues just a few whiskey dents and normal wear and tear. I've acquired most the parts and started assembly. I decided not to cut any corners so this as a very slow build as I'm buying what I want as I can afford it.

Also trying out the YouTube thing just for fun. I don't have all of my build documented here but a good chunk of it. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcK...1SCGFiwQyis5iQ

It wasn’t fun but not as bad as I expected. Pulling the seats out made it 1000x more easy.

Thanks. Yes still truck spacing all the brackets are from Holley Low Mount Accsorie Drive Kit. If I had to do it again I’d probbly go with ICT. The kit took forever to get only the driver side bracket was black and it cost an *** ton for what it is. That being said fit was exceptional and belt alignment looks **** on so hopefully no slinging belts. It’s Texas and I’m Fat so I need AC

Nice...I like how it cleans up the driver side. If I thought the PS res would clear my headers I'd do that also. I won't judge too hard for not using AFP motor mounts since you have my coilover kit
