Hooked on LS1

[txarkitekt]

I thought there was a relation... I was like, "Who is this dude and why does he have the same font as Mic and a lot of the same vehicles?" I should be an investigator for the FBI...

And what is crap about us "T"ing off on each other?? None of us do that crap. We are all good friends and respect each other....pppppffffff--ok, we do screw around A LOT, but if you have any questions, hopefully we can answer them for ya!

P.S. I want a few pics of your '93. It looks as if you have already built my next project...but mine will be a '95 or '96 because I never liked the square dash...

here is the old truck



and my short block, figured i would throw it in...

The truck's holding up great (knock on wood). My name is Jeff and it was great to meet you all as well. I'm going to the track again on the 28th so maybe you can make it?

I doubt I will be able to make the 28th, but the next time I'm in town I definately want to make a run to the track. Thanks for the welcome Jeff.

The early "90" interior is my favorite. I got this truck from the original owner 70k miles, It had a poor small block (replaced it). The Tremec setup was already in it. Awesome truck, and then I went for a ride in Mic's.....

My drive way looks like a chevy dealership. ha ha ha.

Nice pics mic, still haven't mastered the placement on my end yet.

Good luck w/ your 95-96.... I thought about putting an LS1 in this truck, but I took the easy way out.... OOPS. The ol GM Performance Crate. It does run well though. I'll send you a picture of the inside as soon as I get some.

Mic,
Load up a pic of how those 22"s look on the rear.

[TurboMic]

here are the 22 on the rear with 305-40-22 tires.




have 22x10 on rear, and 20x9 on front with 275-45-20.

Oh Sweet Jesus...that 93 is a bad mofo! Did you put the Cheyenne/WT grill on there, or was it stock that way? Torque Thrust II wheels look sweet... And the lower bumper valence--is that the one from the 454SS/Sierra Sport? It looks like the factory lower valence with the fogs...
And you two brothers are assholes--nice stable of vehicles!!!! Mic--are the wheels on the RST the Centerline Tomahawk Archer II's that have been painted black?

[TurboMic]

yes, powdercoated black.

The descision has been made.
Looking at swapping some internal parts on the 4.8

Budget on this motor so I can go big w/ the Trans / Turbo.

That way I can take my time and build the 6.0 the right way.

[txarkitekt]

So, you wanna max out the 4.8L... Why? Why not keep it the way it is until the 6.0L is ready? Since you are eventually going to go with a 6.0L, you would be wasting time and money on the 4.8L. If you were to do stuff to the 4.8L, what mods were you thinking about?
