Hm thats wierd about the PM's. i got one from jeff yesterday..

where can I get this book at? I know the ls1/ls6 are somewhat similar as the 5.3's. But how much different is it going to be? I mean all I need to do is install the front accessories, the injectors, the intake manifold, the wiring, and actually get the motor in their.

oh then you probably dont need the book. i dont remember what all is apart on the motor cuz its been so long. im pretty sure you need a temp sensor for one of the heads. i took it off of that motor for my ls1 after i poured an entire bottle of antifreeze out the side of my head lmao. have someone with a 5.3 truck sitting to the side so you can look at how it all goes and you shouldnt have a problem. these motors just about put themselves together.

I made a spreadsheet on excel listing everything I needed along with the prices and stuff. Here is part of the list that included the parts you told me to get too. Look through it and say if it's a-ok.

Oh yeah how hard is it to assemble the thermostat? I have a Haynes manual from vatozone that has a complete tear down and rebuild of the 5.3's/4.3s for my year model. I think that might help too

I noticed in the Options section under User CP that there's a checkbox to receive msgs only from buddies on a buddy list. Leave that uncheck to receive msgs from everyone. Otherwise, it may restrict others from PM'ing ya.

I dunno if that's the issue, but something to suggest.
