93 1500 w/ 5.3L & 5 speed swap

Got some minor things done last night.

Ran the steam line from the heads to the radiator. There was a screw in plug just below the overflow line so I threaded in a hose barb. Should work fine.



Also undercoated the wheel wells and frame.


All I need to do is put on the tensioner and belt and should be able to drive. Maybe I'll get some vids this weekend!

Got some work done. Put on tensioner and found a belt that seems like it'll work good. Took the truck around the block too. Runes good but scanned it and saying both 02 sensors are bad... So got a few lil bugs to work out but its gettin close! Gonna be fun ride too!
Heres a few pics of where I'm at. Also changed out the couplers to black and cleaned up some more underhood.

Wow, looks great. Great pics of the process. Looks factory and the process of the build really is helpful. I currently am thinking about doing a 5.3 swap into my 94 gmc 3/4 ton 4X4. This thread will serve as a good reference for placement of a few items.
