My 2000 Z71 Daily Driver
Ive never posted pics of my D.D.
Its a 2000 Z71 ECSB LT
Has 183,000 miles. Came with a 5.3 . Ran great .
I put a custom grind comp cam in the 5.3, a 226 /224 114+4 , PAC 1518 valve springs, Chromoly 7.400 push rods, LS2 timing chain, LS6 oil pump.
Got her back together and the damn lifters just werent up to the task.
I wanted to run boost, so instead of wandering about my high mileage engine,
I bought a 2003 LQ4 6.0 with 45,000 miles.
So i just finshed the swap , also took all the goodies off the 5.3 and put them in the 6.0 , along with a new set of LS7 lifters.
Man i ,love how this thing drives with the cammed 6.0 . Lots more bottom end.
Took some pics today.
Mods so far,
TVS 1900 Blower
cammed 6.0 swap
05 ' EFANS, blackbear harness
Tuned by TJ at baker engineering
Stainless Long tube headers
Steel cowl hood
Moldings removed/debaged, tinted tails, painted grille/bowtie.
Newer 17'' OEM wheels ( my fav.)
K+N CAI
Summit 3'' mandrel bent cat back duals
Shift kit
Gonna head up to B.E.I. for dyno tuning
Next: Trans build/stall converter
Im glad to have a LS equipped truck again, i love my DMAX but have been missing the gas side of things.
Thanks for looking. She cleaned up nice for a 10 year old truck.
And here is a clip of the new engine running.

Thankyou !
Stock manifolds, stock y pipe, summit 3'' cat back. The muffler is a single in dual out.
Its not very loud while driving, i like it but might try a Flo-Pro muffler for a lil more sound, But damn for 200$ that summit kit is very nice, fit good and was mandrel bent.
