86 C10 6.0/4l80e swap

Well My engine just arrived today, and the tranny will arrive next week for sure, I hope I dont get you bored with my questions, I`ll try to work first on getting the 6.0 and the 4L80 into the c-10 and then the wiring, hope you all have a great week

ask all you want :)
fyi, I made it easy on myself and just took off the grill, core support and bumper, left the hood on and had tons of room. Don't know if my info will help, but I pretty much did 99% by myself and no helper. Good luck

I only have one question: how did you do with the A/C compressor, did you have to make some work on the chasis to make it work or what ??

no a/c

Update:
Truck is running like a champ. Took it to local cruise tonight. Idles great, stomp the pedal, smoke, haul ass. :)
I'll get a vid or two up when I can find a volunteer to hold the camera, lol

sweet :thumb: I have that problem too, can't find someone to handle the video camera or they want to do it with a digital stills camera and the video ends up looking terrible.
