small update
enjoy.



2008 5.3 1,000 miles




i don't know why it looks like the top of the valve cover has runs in it. it's in the cast i'd guess. oh well, you can't see it anyways.

Keep up the good work!

[keniff]

thanks! im trying. after i get the harness im going to thow it in and start working on the e fans an radiator. then onto the fuel system.

[keniff]

i have an HD2 shift kit, what size drill bit do i use to get the truck to shift firm at part throttle and firm at WOT? i dont want the truck to break my neck when it shifts into 2nd gear. the only thing i have is billet 1-2 servos and a TB Stall.

Buy a new transgo seperator plate and put it in stock to start with to see if you like the feel. You can drop it out and open the passages a little later if you don't like how the shifts feel. You might consider some new torlon check balls, too. Be sure to check all holes in the plate and deburr any sharp edges on the new plate. Add a drain plug to the pan if you don't have one already.

yeah i have a seperator plate too...ill go mild first then extreme if its not enough. how much are the new balls? where to get them?

[keniff]

well, didnt get anything done on the truck other than order the parts to change the lifters in the motor.

if you do a NNBS engine 4.8,5.3,6.0 you need the following just to change the lifters.
(4) 12595365 (LS7 lifter trays)
(1) 12499225 (LS7 7,000 RPM lifters)
(2) 17800568 (head bolts for newer motor)
(2) 12589226 (Gen IV head gaskets)

cam kit if you plan on doing a cam too
12499228 its normally back ordered.
just figure out what you need and order it seperate. it's a little more costly IMO but you wont have to wait lol.

E-fans and Nelson harness should be here today.

parts still needed:
34" Radiator
SS Braided Line
a few more AN fittings
Fuel pump
Nelson Harness which will be ordered as soon as the lifters are changed
98 350 throttle cable and cruise cable
3:73s detroit tru-trac
heater hoses and clamps
Tune
custom 3" exhaust

[keniff]
