badass! keep the updates comin
Yeah were swapping my tired old 5.3 for a lq9
Its a fully built motor it has probe forged dished pistons and probe h beam rods.
The cam is a custom ground bullet cam the specs are 226/224 .582/.576 on a 115 lsa
The head are 317's that our local race shop has ported and polished with 2.05 intake and 1.8 exhaust valves and comp magnum 1.75 roller rockers.
The turbo setup is a trick performance piece with a turbonetics 76 mm turbo and a 4 inch intercooler and a 3.5 ivch down pipe. It also has a turbo smart 52 mm bov and a turbo consepts 44mm wastegate vented into the atomosphere.
Its also getting e fans with a aluminum shroud built by rick from trick performance.
And yes its also getting a 100 shot you know for intake temps:thumb: along with a lot of meth
Were going to try for 20 psi and about 750 to the wheels
If yall guys have any helpful hints please feel free to chime in
wish us luck
Trey
haha what about the trans..?
you really went all out lol
Nice! :thumb: Somebody must have robbed a bank! :laugh: You're going to need a transmission shortly. I sure hope you have billet servos in the transmission so it doesn't fry the band first time out.
+1 on the trans...I'm only runnin' 10psi with the stock 60E and I'm afraid to pull any fully stalled launches. Those will wait 'til the Lvl 5 is in!!! I've got the same turbo, looks like...I love mine! Keep us updated on the progress!
Oh yeah the trans is getting rebuilt to esencially a ftl level 5 with a 2800 yank stall and a zippy performance shift kit and billet servos:D
got any more pics?
no we only worked on it today for about 45 min, we got the intake pulled and the harness loose, the 5.3 should be out of the truck tomorow and then parts swapping will begin!
intake, sensors, front drive accessories...etc
yeah I'll post some tomorrow
heres the pics, cuz trey is a dummy and dont know how to post them :lol:

Come on now, where's all the empty beer cans/bottles? You're missing the most important thing when a bunch of guys get together an start wrenching on a vehicle. You also need a designated light bitch, thats what we have Alan for.
Keep the pics coming. :thumb:
trey = designated light bitch
notice his clean hands!!!

You guys are lucky to have all this help, and a lift!!! I am one man, one case of beer and 1 day = one swap!
well...we did a lot of part swapping from the old motor to the new, trey actually worked on his truck tonight, the result is only one pic.
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...099/trey-2.jpg
all sensors are in along with all the front drive acc, not seen in pic
Real men use pink engine lifts. J/K
Cool project.
Good luck
well...i guess trey still couldnt figure out how to post up pics, and i only took one last night so here it is,
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...tachment-3.jpg
the 6.0 is in and mated back up with the poor 4l60 that is fixing to be hating life,
tonight we should get most of the turbo stuff on and, maybe the injector plugs changed on the harness.
i see no reason why it shouldnt be running by the 18th for dyno day!!
Sweet Trey...you will have to let me check it out when your done.
keep up the good work!
Looking good guys!
oh man!!!!!!!!!!
its almost done, the intake is back on and the harness and the stall and the billet servos, pretty much all done except for tapping the feed line for the turbo, and putting in the fuel pump and meth...coming together nicely!
Good to hear, bro.
Heres the latest photos and haha ryan i figured out how to post the pics

Looks good guys. You should be done any time now, huh. Are those comp roller rockers? Are you putting a stock manifold on the driver side or using the JBA shorty header on that side?
