New here on the forums yada, yada. I found a bunch of threads on this site while googling some swap info so i figured I'd join the family. Welp i guess ill show you some pictures

Ok so here's the one that makes me cringe everytime

Had a wreck in January, oversteered into a tree. thought she was gone for good. Turns out the guy i sold it to parts out chevy trucks and since i never claimed the incident (minimum coverage) he decided to swap a new cab, replace a few panels, a quick (cheap ) respray, new clutch and wala! she was back on the road.

So... 8 thousand bucks later



The truck is a 4.3l/5spd, and my plans are to swap in a 4.8l, keep the 5spd, and bolt up a single turbo 70 trim setup at about 10psi (its my dd, not trying to blow the motor)Tune through nelson performance of course.

just for kicks here's a picture of my other baby, shes begging for a new motor. but that 305 has a 200 shot in its future, gonna try and blow it up lol


let me know if yall have any advice for the Silverado motor swap or turbo setup

 

Nice build you have going. Wish u luck with the 305.
