Finally, my 1994 Silverado LSX swap thread!

You have me inspired to do the same on my rebuild. Could you tell me how much was spent on gaskets? Also, after the color paint did you spray with a clear coat?

Looks damn good man. Nice job with the details. I didn't go that crazy with my 6.0 conversion. Just cleaned it up, replaced the rear main seal, removed the broken exhaust bolts on the heads, repainted it and installed it. It actually runs really well. Much better than the old tired 350 it replaced. Even though the mileage of both engines are similar(140,000 for the 6.0 and 155,000 for the 350), the LQ4 has much more power. It makes me wonder how well it would have run with a mild rebuild and some aluminum heads.

Keep us posted with your progress and keep up the good work.

Thanks, I can't wait to see what the added performance is going to feel like.

The gaskets were in the range of $500. Felpro has gasket sets that come with a ton at a time. I did not spray a clear coat after.
