Project "cant get right"

Found this name suiting for my project since the main vehicle has changed numerous times. hahahaha. The end result for the motor has relatively stayed the same (boosted 6.0). This first vehicle was an 84 rcsb chevy.

Ended up selling it and deciding to do the swap in my 99 ecsb z71 gmc that I had already had.

Got a steal on a donor vehicle for the swap.(2500 long bed that was hit in the front but dont have any pics on my comp) Then as I was searching on the ol craigslist I found a super steal on a 2000 burban that I could pass up.

$500!! Then picked up a black fender for 120 and she was good to go!

Then awhile later I decided that I wanted to build a nbs rcsb so back on the craigslist hunt I went and came across this beauty that I swooped up.

This is the stance/look I'm shooting for

I have been slowly collecting parts for my build over the past 6-8 months off and on as I have the money. As of right now I have a master power 76 1.0 ar turbo, hp tuners, a 4l80e and a few other misc parts so I still have quite a ways to go. Just got my hptuners in this week so I figure I will play around with it on my burban and the z71 so I can start trying to figure it out. I will update the build as the parts come in and as the build progresses. Thanks for checking out my build and all thoughts/input welcomed and appreciated!

Wow 620 for a 5k+ vehicle easy. Sick!

Yea it definitely made the ol lady happy lol

Sweet deal on the burban, can't wait to see this thing start to come to life :)

I'm definitely ready for it to be on the road but that's still aways away. Especially with a turbo setting in my living room just itchin to make some boost!

Figured I would throw a pic of the turbo in here

Looks nice.....now get it on the truck! :)

Lol it defiantly needs be on there already!

Well once again I have changed my mind on this build lol. Still staying with the same project vehicle but now I'm going to build the 6.0 and boost it instead of leaving it all stock. Also put the 4l80 up for sale and just put in an order for a level 7 4l60. Figured the do it right the first time saying will pay off a little better lol

:facepalm: in the long run you are most likely better off with the 80e. Even the best built 60s die eventually. If the vehicle is light and a lot of other factors are just right then a built 60e will do great, but even a lightly built 80e is about equal to a fully built 60e. Lots of 600hp guys blowing built 60s, but stock 80s seem to do just fine. I know it might be too late, but just my 2cents. Who did you order it from?

There's us a guy here in Oklahoma that is a reputable 4l60 builder that is building it. He has a few high hp trucks running his transmissions without any problems so far. So I guess we will see how it holds up lol.

Plus I got a really good deal on it so it was kinda hard to pass up

I think I might know who you are talking about. Ironically he will most likely be building my 60e as well. :lol: I won't make half the power you plan on tho.

Oh cool deal. I'm curious to see how much this combo will put down. I'm trying to keep my expectations moderate so I dont get let down lol. I'm hoping for somewhere around 650 to the wheels but we will see if that will actually happen. Still a long ways away.

Depends on how much boost you throw at it. That 6.0 with a cam and 12lbs of boost ought to get you there if not close.

I was planning on right around 14lbs. And now that I'm going with a forged rotating assembly I shouldn't have any problems handling it either. Now I just gotta figure out what heads I'm going to run. Leaning towards some ls3 heads. But still not 100% sure if thats what I will end up with.
