I have the following setup I originally planned on installing myself with the help of any skilled forum members. My wife recently started working again, which has limited my time significantly. I am not against installing still, but wanted to get a gauge on people experience with local Austin shops.
I have reached out to Aikman, Nelson, and Fuel Injection Specialties. Waiting on responses from them right now.
- 5.3L engine install w/TVS1900
- 5.3 has been completely cleaned with all new gaskets/TSP cam/243 heads/studs/etc
- New melling pump, water pump, blower installed, 60# injectors, all completed
- FMHE install for Roush TVS1900
- 4L80E conversion (already own PCM of NC harness and crossmember from PTforums member)
- 40K Trucool install
- Measurements for new driveshaft (need to order after measuring with 4L80e)
- Exhaust will be Speed Eng full 1 7/8 headers with true 3” dual exhaust(turn down style)
Anyone have good experiences or recommendations for Austin performance shops skilled in LS swaps?
Hit up Jacob he's pretty close to you too does great work. (512) 496-4554. Tsp referred him to me... he has lots of height hp builds. Also will trailer you're car to pat g to tune it if you would like.
also nelson had my driveshaft measured and cut and installed while my truck was there. 5" driveshaft specialist shaft. nelson also has very good pricing
Patients isn't for everyone but iv noticed the ones that do have great things to show for it an that lift is gonna benfit you more than paying someone to do the work not putting down any shop cause alot of them do great work but if you can do it yourself why not
