Ended up getting a second LMG 5.3 with 799 heads today. Customer had collapsed lifter and bought a LKQ. Kinda debating on dod/vvt delete like my current one or build the bottom end of this one for when the first one lets go

Brought the motor up to work the other day. Should be bringing the truck up there shortly too and get a big jump on everything.

Upgrading from the 5gallon fuel cell to a 16gallon


Also found an older pic of the truck. Ready to move it out of the garage and wash it before bringing it to work

Turns out the clamshell mounts I got were for 1st gen Camaro and Novas and wouldn't work



Had to get a regular sbc truck style clamshell




The clamshell mounts still had a hump in them and wouldn't sit flush against the Ls adapter mounts. Little heat and hammer to flatten them out






Tight hood clearance. Hood already has a cowl just needs little more trimming.




Still need a stall converter to install the transmission but I can get a start on all my wiring.

Damn, that is tight! Should be a fun little truck.

I now own this truck and currently doing a 5.3 swap single borg Warner s475 turbo setup. Should be interesting starting to finish gathering up parts
