Im supprised as to how easy it is to do a swap in those trucks.

 

it really is. i think if you have a 350 you can use your stock radiator. i have a 4.3 so im not going to chance it, ill just spend the money now and put the 32" and e fans.
the list really isnt long unless you pick up a NNBS (GenIV i think) engine like i did.
fuel pump is really simple, fuel fittings is kinda costly but really good quality. the only reason why im going all out is if i ever wreck this truck the combo is getting pulled and thrown in an S10 to be a sleeper

 

small update
enjoy.



2008 5.3 1,000 miles




i don't know why it looks like the top of the valve cover has runs in it. it's in the cast i'd guess. oh well, you can't see it anyways.

Chevy Orange 2000*F

 

got my e fans, and nelson harness coming soon. have my stall finally. if it stops raining ill get a chance to do the stall/servos/shift kit. it's pretty today but have a big chance of rain plus its labor day so its drink beer day for me.
tomorrow ill try and come up and do a lil bit but i dunno if that'll hapeen until i get my harness.

 

i have an HD2 shift kit, what size drill bit do i use to get the truck to shift firm at part throttle and firm at WOT? i dont want the truck to break my neck when it shifts into 2nd gear

 

hell yea dude! this is iamdat from GOI btw

 

glad to see ya made your way over to pt.net

 

well, didnt get anything done on the truck other than order the parts to change the lifters in the motor.

if you do a NNBS engine 4.8,5.3,6.0 you need the following just to change the lifters.
(4) 12595365 (LS7 lifter trays)
(1) 12499225 (LS7 7,000 RPM lifters)
(2) 17800568 (head bolts for newer motor)
(2) 12589226 (Gen IV head gaskets)

cam kit if you plan on doing a cam too
12499228 its normally back ordered.
just figure out what you need and order it seperate. it's a little more costly IMO but you wont have to wait lol.

E-fans and Nelson harness should be here today.

parts still needed:
34" Radiator
SS Braided Line
a few more AN fittings
Fuel pump
Nelson Harness which will be ordered as soon as the lifters are changed
98 350 throttle cable and cruise cable
3:73s detroit tru-trac
heater hoses and clamps
Tune
custom 3" exhaust
some misc bolts and such

 

the block isnt that color, its the old head gasket still on there.

gotta love flat top pistons :twisted

:whistle: i dunno what that's all about :twisted

 

hells yea man. looks like ur going to have one hell of a truck. doesnt look all that expensive as i would have thought it would be. kinda makes me think i should do it to my next project. yea i dont know what that blue bottle is......(looking around).......but im sure it doesnt help anything......lol
