Banker099's Garage

The Beginning:

Bought the truck in 2006 36k miles. The plan for the truck when i bought it was just to make it look good and haul my quad (YFZ450) on the weekends.

Specs when I bought it:
- 2002 Regular Cab Short Bed
- 4.3 V6
- 4L60E
- 3.42 with one tire fire
- intake

The night i bought it me and some buddies took all the molding, emblems, pinstripe off.

On day 2 of my owning the truck it got 2" lowering shackles and the Billet 22's.

Next came a small system, 1 JL 10" w3v3, crossfire amp, kicker doors and rear pillar speakers, pioneer deck.

After about 2 moths i got tired of my nose bleeding from sitting so high, so the 4/6 drop went on.

next came the color matched front bumper, roll pan, door handles, mirrors.

Then i saw the Hd Grille conversion but i could not find the top pad for the Hd truck anywhere, so i made do with the Hd grille on the 1500 bumper.

so, then i thought i was done, after all who wants to do anything performance to a v6.......then i stumbled on to this site, all the talk about v6-v8 swaps got me wanting to try it.

so i found a 5.3l, harness, and pcm for $750....then the madness started

ok
i havent updated this in a while and with the addition of the lq4 added to my shop i thought i would share the current plans for the build

i purchased an lq4 off the list of craig for $350,
after doing much reading/ research and talking to some of the guys here and on pt.net i decided the low compression lq4 just isnt gonna cut it for me.

those that know me real well know that im not a FI kinda guy and the NA power potential just isnt there with the lq4.

so the plans are to get the block to the machine shop and see how uch they need to bore it, and then i will be in the market for a rotating assembly.

gonna go 4" stroke and whatever the bore needs to be, im gonna assume by looking at the piston walls it wont be over .030 over, as ive seen much worse that only needed .030 so i assume i will be building somewhere close to a 408cu, i want somewhere in the 11:1-11:7 compression ratio range

the engine will the get a set of worked L92 heads

i would like to see 475+ to the wheels NA, but we'll see what happens, this will be a long build as im a broke college student, but i hope it will all be worth it in the end.


current build pics...not much

in the disassemble stage right now

truck looks nice

damn that truck is sick... you should put some track clips on here or street

i dont have any track clips, its only been to the track once since the 408, and i only made one pass...it ran a 7.9 in the 1/8th

damn... you should put a burnout vid on here then.... have you seen that truck that has a 408 with twin turbos... the guys name is like parish, he is running 9s in the 1/4 mile

getting ready for SAR 2011 got some parts in yesterday from Richard at WCCH...
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...1272011372.jpg

Dang it son. How much you going to put to the 408? Aiming for how low of a 10?

200 at least...as long as i hit 10's ill be happy

lookin good cant wait to see a video of it running at SAR

setup looking good banker, hope to see it at SAR!!

nice cam choice ;)

cool setup. You should try to move the aircleaner back to the stock location so it can get some cooler air, granted once you start spraying you have lots of cool air coming in. The radiator will be putting off tons of hot air and that hot air and could cause a loss of performance.

got out and drove around for a while yesterday, after its been sitting pretty much ever since i got it back from Jon 4 months ago
