Ok looks like were getting close to installation time!! I'm still waiting for the tranny to arrive but none the less it's on the way Now, I need to make sure I have everything I'll need in order to complete this swap successfully. So I'm going to need your guy's help with a list of things needed to do this swap. I'm doing the motor and tranny swap at the same time. Motor is a 5.3 block which has been turned into a 383 and the tranny of course is the 4l80E. Also can anyone give me a good place to get the driveshaft from...remember this thing needs to be able to handle over 1200 crank HP!! I just hope the STS can prove all its haters wrong!! Thanks fellas

try a custom driveshaft just order the length to fit see if our vendors have one like that or try dens driveshaft (i dont have a link or number pm samdogmx he has one on his s-10 thats purely awsome)

Yep I have that webpage on my favorites I found better prices though over a speed engineering. I don't know if you remember me or not but I'm one of the guy's you met on your work trip to Virginia! I was the one with the black silverado

Yeah, sure do!! I wanted to be down there a little longer, but we're still waiting on some people to make decisions on placement of some equipment. About when do you plan on doing the swap? I MIGHT be there againg after the first of the year.

 

I'm trying to get the parts so I can start it up before christmas I think a little birdy might be getting me the STS (hoping so at least) So I wanted to have everything installed and ready for it. I'm sure if that's going to happen though but it's worth a shot! If not then it'll be waiting for the New Year and I'd be more than abliged for some help
