78 c10 swap project
I must say, this is an awesome site. any little piece of information i have been looking for is here. I am in the process of building a 78 c-10 p/u swb. I have aquired a 5.3 engine (no idea what year or mileage). The engine now sports an edelbrock intake, a blow thru 600 holley, and as soon as i get the cheese saved up, a garrett gt35r turbo. I am now working on polishing the heads, intake, valve covers, and timing cover. (i also do polishing on the side if anyone is interested pm me). i look forward to taking in all of theknowledge that surrounds this site.

welcome to the site! got any pics of the truck?
-
nah, no pics of the truck, camera is busted. it needs some body work and paint. stock suspension right now, but soon will have 4/6 drop. I thought about leaving it ugly and making it a sleeper

Welcome to the site! We've got a few people on here doing swaps who are leaving the old truck body the way it is and just building the suspension and motor/driveline, making it a sleeper. Those 5.3Ls with the carb can be quite powerful. Since the carbed 5.3Ls don't make a lot of low end power, you will probably need a 3000 stall or higher. What transmission are you going with?

Nothing wrong with the sleeper look!
Get some pics up!

im running a turbo 400 w transbrake, as i am swapping the cam and am going to run a small shot of nitrous off the line. I think im going to go with the ls6 cam as it has more overlap, good 4 boost :)

Sweet. Should be a bad arse set up. LS6 cam is good for the boost....along with the Lingenfelter GT2-3 cam. Either one love boost! :thumb:

Sleeper look is killer! Im a big fan of the sleepers.
