sounds like you have a good combo lined up for you.
good luck with the conversion man.

 

From what I remember reading, it will fit with that pan. You may have to notch the K member a little, but it should work.

Don't expect to loose any weight, that tranny is a mother! I'd say realistically, about 275 with fluids.

 

i believe my 4.3l is somewhere around 270 with fluid? its iron headed mind you and I lose some weight with the aluminum on the 6.0l, but thanks for the advice

 

well here are the pics! and yes the third pic has my sister's JR

I REALLY hope you've got JRT's book on doing this swap.....it's not all that hard but the wiring end of things is an absolute BITCH !! Contact John at Speartech and he can hook you up with a harness that will solve ALOT of the wiring issues you'll run into. You'll also need to swap out the intake and injectors for f-body ones unless you plan on running a 4" cowl hood. (I've helped on two of these now)

The '98 ECSB S-10/2002 5.7 LS1 swap I recently helped with has managed a best of 13.2 in the 1/4 mile....and that's with a completely stock LS1 and 18" wheels

 

already got an LS6 intake, and from what ive researched i wont need the injectors for the manifold???????

 

the easiest way to do the swap is to buy the f-body injectors and the new injector pigtails from MSD....cut off you factory injector pigtails, install the new ones (SOLDER THEM), and then install the LS6 manifold and f-body injectors

 

hmmm can it be done without having to buy new injectors? i know if it really cant i can re-use my dad's old injectors off his '00 hawk, which is also where im getting the ls6 intake from

 

And I'm not going to get into a battle about this and I'm NOT insulting your choices but: you do know that cam/converter combo is WAY overkill on a 3400lb truck right ??...and with that cam you're gonna need alot more flow than a stock head can provide to see the REAL power gains....I'd be considering a BIG-flowing set of heads if you've got your heart set on a Magic Stick 3
