    Its Started!

    Went and got the motor today and started tearing it down, got the harness and intake off.







    Tired ol' 5.7, 5.3 swap in progress

    If you can't eat it or hump it.
    Piss on it and walk away.

    Yeah I know but I don't know if it's going to get that treatment or not this is kinda a budget minded project..

    at least get them cleaned, i skipped this step an i kick my self in the face every morning when i get up. all you have to get is header gaskets, head bolts, and if you want new head gaskets. if you have to delay putting it in a week or two cuz u spent money cleaning it, then do it. I didn't do this an lost out on a lot of money b/c i didnt yank the heads off while it was out. i just had to take it off while it was in the truck which is not fun at all. I cant tell anyone enough to do this. Your heads look really bad, either get them cleaned or get of this site jk lol. get them cleaned though trust me.

    Is cleaning them something I can do myself or do I have to take it somewhere?

    Edit: Would it be worth my time to try and port/polish the heads? The actual swap is not going to start till 2nd week in august so I have some time to play with...

    All that you can possibly afford to do to the motor while it is out is the best way to do it.
