82 C10 to 6.0 swap.

That is more than sufficient. Stock hose is on a -6.

Is there any negative effects for over sizing the line?

Cost of bigger line and fittings, takes more fuel to fill it before it hits the fuel rail.

Ok well i Got the Headers in from S&P.


So i test fit them and trimmed the transcase on both sides here. The driverside needed more taken off than the passanger side.


dont mind the dog tail

I also got some new Polyurathane inserts so i replaced the old rubber mounts.



The engine went in fine but as im aligning the motor mounts it seem that they are off about 1". Looking at the picture i can see now that the poly mount looks wider. But im going to get some new rubber ones and see if it will fix the problem.
So here is how she sits so far.


I also recieved the Wireing harness and ECU back from NealsonPerformance (quick and good service i might add). With the let down of the mounts i opted not to start on it though.

Well alittle update, since last year. I placed the engine and transmission, had a driveshaft made, Dropped the druck 6/6 installed all the accesories, plumbed the trans/fuel/oil/radiator lines. Wired and ready to go..... or so i thought.

The engine will crank over but will not stay running. Is there anything in peticular that i need to look for, or that i overlooked?

Here are a few latest pics i have at work.



I actually have the bed and front end put back on now.

Sounds like you did not have the VATS turned off in the PCM.

I can call and check but i mentioned that to Nelson Performance which did the ECU.
