Default New guy east texas longview

Names lucas, i have a 2000 chevy 1500 single cab p/u. I am putting a 6.0 lq4/4l80e out of a 2005 chevy 3500 drive by wire. This will be my first time to swap a truck motor.

Im from longview tx. Born and raised in mt. Pleasant tx. 28yrs old
down for whatever on the weekends around east texas.

Can't wait to get my lq4 in my single cab truck. Looking for parts if anyone has any for the motor i am doing. Headers, tq conv, cams, lmk.

lol I haven't started yet. I am collecting info first before i do anything. I wanna jump right into it now but I need to rebuild some bank roll first. I just purchased motor, tranny ecu harness and all. I just sold my 95 honda civic that made 667whp and 450tq. It was boosted @ 28psi. I have now moved on and back to my roots of a chevy guy. #thankGOD. My plans are to run nitrous on it and install cam kit, headers, tq converter, shift kit, and more. Zach is my guide so far. I haven't decided on a cam yet though. I am looking into a 232/234 tqr v2 cam but I am open to ideas.

I have no pics yet because my truck is just a single cam and the motor is just a ugly motor right now lol
