    6.0 AND FRAME.jpgHERE COMES TROUBLE!!!.jpgROLLER ON HAULER.jpg

    here's a few shots of the truck, currently the truck is getting assembled for the first time, the frame is about complete, rear end with wilwood disc swap is done, motor is built but still needs to be torn down again for paint and actual accessories that will be on the motor, next on the list is to build the 3" stainless magnaflow exhaust, button up the frame, finish the fuel cell, smooth the firewall, and trans tunnel, then tear it all apart again, paint everything and piece the truck back together and get it wired up and tuned and we will be ready to roll!

    Great build.
    When possible if you can get pics of your lt header clearance in the engine
    Bay for me. I'm slowly building mine and the exhaust is concerning me for clearance.
    Also did you end up using the stock truck pan? I know you got the car intake but I'm using the truck intake and I don't think I'm going to have hood clearance based on my rough measurements on the current 350 position and the ls truck pan and intake combo.

    Cool man glad ya like it! Yes I am using the stock truck pan and when aired out it will clear the ground by about a 1/2 inch. I wasn't planning on swapping out the intake manifold at first but found a killer price on a manifold setup so I couldn't pass it up. As far as running the truck intake with stock hood with a bodydrop I've seen it done but it was so close he couldn't run a intake manifold vortec cover so you had to look at that ugly manifold. So it can be done but your prob better off searching for a good deal on a car manifold, it will make your life way easier! Also spend the money on the full adjust Dirty Dingo mounts! They are freakin' awesome! It will allow you to use your stock driveshaft if you want which is great, also you can place the motor wherever you want it.

    Thanks! I did assume the cover would have to go so I took care of the ugliness.

    I actually thought about fabricating my own brackets so I can get the pan as low as I can. But I have seen the dingo mounts and they aren't overpriced like some others so thanks for the heads up!
    I was thinking of swapping out the pan but if it worked for you ill give it a shot before I invest in a new pan.
    Thanks again.

    the heads have been off of your motor at one point or another. those sharpy lines on the head bolts are to help degree the bolts. with that cam, i wouldnt be able to keep myself from pulling 1 head to see what's going on inside.
