They pulled the motor for the cam swap?

Just wondering, why chucks?

I am still trying to get my tune dialed in up top, hard to figure out how to keep tabs on fuel system on DI.

It's actually much easier than you think to pull the motor and do the swap (and everything else it takes for the swap) then just plug the converter in, while the engine is out. My last ls3 cam and whipple build, was much easier to pull the motor for the work and then slap the clutch on than to go through the swap, putting a 90 lb whipple on top, then pulling the tranny to do the clutch...

Why Chucks? My answer: Why anyone else? Chuck Anders' experience and knowledge, proven success, I've known him since '06, and I only have positive things to say about him, especially once you get to know him. He knows his stuff.

LI regret to inform y'all, but two days ago my wife dropped the bomb on me. I am gonna be fine, we have been unhappy for a pretty good while, and it is what it is. Moving out into another household of expenses, kids, ect, I am gonna be forced to sell the only truck I've ever built (had lots of cars). I have the color, the lowered stance, the big lumpy cam, awesome sound and absolutely everything I wanted in a built truck, but reality bites. I drive a patrol car as my dd, I have a ccsb Sierra for the pov and my built '14 rcsb is only a toy/hobby. I cannot justify/afford a monthly payment in a "toy" with the new added expenses. I will post in the for sale section soon.

Here's where it's at now: mods below, it's a 3.5/6.5 drop. Slightly different than the 4/7, but it is the Mcgauhys kit. At 300 miles I drove to Texas, at 900ish miles it got the cam swap and bolt on parts. At 960ish miles it made 5-6 1/4 mile passes to set the cam and bolt ons 2014 5.3 1/4 mile times. It now has just under 1700 miles. Comes with race stars and stock chrome 17" wheels. No parting out. No other stock parts. It gets right at 19.9 mpg on the highway at 75-80 mph. It drives like a big cam, decent converter truck would. Sounds killer. Gets looks and attention absolutely everywhere I go. I am absolutely heartbroken in more than one way, but it's whatever. Truck is a 2WT package, with G80 diff and 3.42 gear. Msrp was over $33k, I am asking $35,900 obo. Located in NW Florida.

My sympathies, cammed06. I've been there.

Best of luck to you, but you sound like a pretty hardy dude and I'm bettin' you'll do great once you get over the "shock & awe."

I've had a 10 second M6 Gto, 9 second F body, several 11 second cars, but I must say that this truck is the most fun, cause it's a truck. Trucks effin rock. It'll be a while, but I'm sure that when I get back to being able to build another, hands down it'll be a truck, so you're right.
