Sorry to ***** it up, but, here is a pic of the welding my guy does on cast alluminum. I was telling you about him when you were at the shop here Tim. So if you need you pan modded you could send it up. Wouldn't cost much at all.



Check the welds around those injector bungs....HOT!!!!

I have looked into building basically the exact same truck. I have a 94' single cab 2wd that already has a 4.3 and 5-speed. I bought a used 6.0 complete from an 02 HD truck, 02'F-body T-56, and other junk. I found a guy at www.v8s10s.com builds these trucks on a daily basis and really knows how to build them right. He even has his own conversion manual on how to do it. He shows how to build the fuel systems, motor mounts, and exhaust systems. Another good place to find swap parts is www.hotrodlane.cc. As for total cost involved, You can usually find a LS series motor complete for about 3K and if you can find a motor and tranny combo, add about another 1K. I am selling the truck and moving on to another project. Good luck with yours.
