93 1500 w/ 5.3L & 5 speed swap

[kyle's sierra]

Nice thread! I just read through it all.

Love the "factory" look with the engine covers. I have the same covers on my LQ9. I can't wait to get this swap done in my 95 z71 RC!

I plan to do a cam and maybe some light head work mainly for the sound. I want to run the stock converter till my transmission goes.

How does the Josh Powers A/C bracket compare to a dirty dingo one or some of the others out there? I really would like to use the LS A/C compressor but it looks like quite a bit of work.

Here's a few more pics over the weekend. My gauges arent 100% correct yet but I have the Torque app on my phone that reads my PCM so I used it for accuracy. Just wanted to show how they look lit up. And also the HIDs at night.

I want that valence but I know it would get torn up

You already have that valance! lol I had a plain one and cut the holes myself. Mine actually had the outline on the back of it already. These are cheap BLAZER lights from parts store I converted to HID. They are the same style as the 454SS had.

I'm going to go check to see if mine has that outline...if it gets torn up I'll just zip tie it back up

Ive went thru 3 on my blk truck too. But good thing is I can get the plain ones for like $15 so its not too bad IMO.
