Set her in the hole tonight.

:jump: I started around 4:00 this evening and just got the engine in. I never thought I'd see this day LOL. I guess I officially have an LS1 truck. It was a tight squeeze getting it past the cross member with the mounts on it but I got it in. It would have been a little easier if I didn't do it by myself. I've got to get going on the wiring and exhaust now. The ride height from the extra 1" I dropped it made up perfect for the weight loss. Anyways, here are some pics.

The only button your gonna be pushing is the horn telling me to slow down&#33; :laugh: LMAO&#33;&#33; Don&#39;t forget, I got a 150 shot on mine too&#33; :taunt:

Thanks again guys&#33; TXcrew, I only get Sundays off and usually can&#39;t find any help because I do things at a spur of the moment. Plus I get to work at my own pace. I think I&#39;m gonna buy a new 1000 sq ft house with a 4000 sq ft garage pretty soon so I&#39;ll have a little more work space. LOL My problem is finding property that&#39;s not too far from work and not too expensive. Then I can have all my friends with their trucks over to have weekend overhauls and mods.

You might ought to try to make some friends first&#33; :rofl:

:point: Good come back&#33;

beatiful. just beautiful

Don&#39;t forget to throw away/change that dented oil filter before you&#39;re tempted to use it for your initial startup.

Ya, I have a new one for it with some good ole Mobile1 Synthetic&#33; Good eye&#33; Check out my passeger side projector, It got busted at work. Someone hit it with a scaffold pole&#33; :tantrum: I&#39;m going to pull the projectors off and put some clear lenses on this time. The APC projectors look awsome but they don&#39;t put out enough light even with the super high watt bulbs.

I couldn&#39;t even tell it was broken by the pictures posted. Where is your throttle bracket? Took it off while installing the engine?

Yes, it&#39;s back on. My spreader bar chain was hitting it and I didn&#39;t want to crack the manifold.

Looking very good Nitrous&#33; :drool: Keep up the good work. Gar

BADASS&#33;

very nice, I guess i better watch out for you on 225 huh??

That chit looks clean&#33; Good deal&#33; I didn&#39;t see an A/C compressor... guessing that&#39;s a project down the way?

I&#39;ve already got the A/C ready to install. I just left it off for the clearance while installing the motor.

Hmmmm...putting a motor into the truck too? So you must be doing a hybrid conversion. :laugh:

Yes, I added a 4x4 box fan with motor for cooling&#33; LMAO
