What's up guys, sold my 03 rcsb turbo truck and have started in on my next project..

2001 rcsb V6 and smoked 4L60e (has 1-2 only)

I got this truck from a friend for a decent price, and figured it would be a good platform for my LQ4 4L80E swap with boost to come later down the road..

Current pictures:







I drove this truck home 30 miles on I435 going 70mph! The little 4.3 wasn't happy, revving at 4500 rpm! Lol

The next couple days I searched Craigslist and found a 2001 reg cab 2500 2wd with a LQ4 and 4l80e for a steal.

Couple days later:





I took the 4.3 and 4l60 out last week:






This is where I have left off...
Just had our son a couple of days ago, so when te time permits I will put it all back together.

Comments and suggestions are welcome

Future plans:

Holley high rise intake
80# injectors
Walbro 450 in tank pump
Braided lines from tank to rails
Areomotive 13109 regulator
Triple 12 cam
Isky matching valve springs
E fans
Ls performance wiring fan harness
Trans go HD2 shift kit
Circle D 3400 stall
4:56 gears (not too sure yet)
KB turbo manifold
On3 gt45
Tial MVR wastegate
Air to water intercooler
Custom catch can

 

Been a minute..
Got a few things done, engine is in, and hydro boost is installed..









It's a slow process right now..

For anyone wondering I cut pieces of 14 ga metal that was 9.125" long to move my Trans crossmember to the correct location for the 80e swap.

Anyone know what part number the rear Trans yoke is?
I remember when I did my 80E swap in my 03 longbed that I didn't need a new driveshaft, I just got a different yoke.. But if took me a little bit to find the correct yoke!
