Gathering parts and info for the swap

Here is the pics of the truck and the engine maybe I should leave it in the box it gives me the desirede ride height in the rear lol. this will be about a three month project and it will be turboed and burning corn. I plan on using a stock harness and modifying it, T70 or T76 turbo. I will keep you all updated as i can and will take lots of pics.I went to Houston and bought the truck and drove the fire breathing dragon of a 350 TBI home, The truck is going to get a 4/7 drop. I bought the complete 5.3 with attached 2 wheel drive 4l60e with 80,000 miles on it for a sweet price I am looking for alt,ps pump and bracket if somone has this stuff shoot me a pm thanks SeanAttachment 5950Attachment 5951

That is going to be a nice swap when you finish it. The wiring seems like it is hard, but it really isn't.

Have u ever thought of sending a pm to him? JEEZE.

blah blah

please let me be at thirty posts

well started working on the truck some more found a 12 bolt with a tru trac in it and 4.11 gears all fresh and sandblasted for a sweet price picked it up and started my lowering the old rear is out and the new is in place have to buy new brakes and few odds and ends to finish it up tomorrow I took picks so I up load them tomorrow. also while cruising a different junkyard asked about some prices found complete wire harness I pull it for 20 dollars and also a 0411 computer for 20 bucks score. this project will pick up some big time speed summer is coming got a pesky 350 s10 and my brothers 396 lt1 caprice to put a whoopin on lol.

i got an extra p.s. pump and bracket if u still need it

a quick question about my fuel delivery can I use a stealth 340 pump for now then when i boost it put an inline a1000 on a hobbs switch will that be sufficient for a boosted e-85 5.3. and If anyone knows which aeromotive stealth part nukber I should use that would be great. thanks guys

That will work. I have a small cammed 5.3 with a T70, E85, ad a stealth 340. My fuel pressure gauge isn't hooked up yet, but my pump seems to start falling off around 10+ psi. I'm most likely going to add a Bosch 044 or Deascthwerks pump on a hobbs switch(have it kick on at 6-8 psi).

I also maxed out my 60# injectors at 11psi. My 38mm wastegate is too small for low boost, just another thing I'd figure I'd mention.

I saw you mention in another thread you were thinking about running it non-intercooled... Don't! I tried it and with low boost the IAT's were in the 140's and higher boost they hit 160+!!! Install an ebay 31x12x4 intercooler and be done with it.

I have the truck lowered now 4/6 on 275/60/15 all four corners.I tried the cragers on a whim since I had them around with tires from my GTO I think they look good strangely enough. Attachment 6775

been working on the harness I believe that I have it all modded made up my motor mount plates now gonna stab it in this weekend.

Well been quite some time since I have posted some things have happened the truck is completely ripped apart getting painted cyber grey all that's left to paint is the box got the doors installed on the cab got my 5.3 all cleaned up. I have been buying a few goodies pics to follow I tried my mounts I Made the oil pan sit to low on a dropped truck.

I ordered a set of dirty dingo swap mounts I got a circle d 3200 stall converter shift kit installed and ordering a psi harness I just can't get the factory one to look nice.

Nice, my PSI harness should be in either today or tomorrow. I cannot wait to hear it running. Your progress is great.

I can't figure out how to get pics on here with my iPhone any ideas

Download the photobucket app upload the photos and copy the image tag to the post and BAM!!...... Photos

What do you guys think should i cam this 5.3 before I Stab it in I see there are a few in the for sale area I am really on the fence if I am going to do it.

It's define toy easier to do without The rest of the truck in the way lol if you got the cash of say definitely do it now plus that's one less retune you will have to get

Well more head way got motor all painted up and got a complete cam kit thanks 454ss it is the vinci trucker with pushrods and springs. I am going to nitrous this 5.3 will I need to get bigger injectors with the bottle and a cam. Can I use the 8.1 injectors or flex fuel I have the stock truck intake and stock rails. I would rather not buy new injectors until this coming winter when this thing gets boosted.

Well I got the engine all mounted and hooked up drop spindles installed. The last pieces of the puzzle are finally coming together I got a PSI harness coming and ordered a tune from Nelson. I am hoping the truck feels strong with the 5.3 cam and 3200 stall with the 4.11 gears. I have been waiting for the paint shop to finish my box anyone doing this I recommend painting or swap separately. It seems like so much when there is nothing but a cab on a frame in your garage. Thanks everyone and if anything pops up I will keep you updated. I will get some pics on here soon I don't know how to post them with my phone. I have to wait till I get on the home computer.

Well got all the parts installed truck runs very good thanks for the tune Nelson. I will keep everyone posted. waiting to trailer it to the exhaust shop Wednesday or Friday and get exhaust on it open manifolds tough to listen for anything. I got all my factory gauges working oil pressure plugged right Into ls sensor works and bought the coolant temp sensor adaptor from a vendor and screwed factory on in place. Used factory throttle cable bracket off 98 vortec including both cables and cruise box I hope it all works. Glass is getting installed Tuesday. Hope to drive it friday can't wait.

If you use a wet nitrous kit you won't need bigger injectors. If you use a dry kit you will. With the cam your stock injectors will be maxed out.
