I have a 94 ext cab with the 4.3L auto.
I have an LQ4 6.0 that I'll be putting in because the 4.3 is slow and I don't want to destroy my white truck.

6.0 List is:
04 6.0 with 30k, almost complete.
VIG3200 stall
44LB injectors
243 heads that are getting milled .020 with stock head gaskets to achieve my 10:5:1 compression.
cam is unknown because I don't know what I want yet.
Patriot Gold Dual Springs soon to come
Clean and Paint the block and such.
Replace all the gaskets that will be hard to get to when the motor is installed.
Have the Carrier Bearing replaced, and the Drive Shaft balanced so I can race it and possibly go over 140mph
I'm saving to get a FLT level 5 tranny.

I'm purchasing the adapter plates, but I don't know which one to get....the one that puts it in the Stock location or the one that Pushes it Forward 1" or the one that sets it Back 1".

The most part that I am struggling with is the wiring harness. I have the Haynes Repair Manuals on both trucks (88-98) (99-05)
For the guys who did your own wiring did you use the Wiring Diagrams in the back of the book? I don't have the time to understand them just yet, but I don't want to spend 600-800 on a wiring harness. Through all of the pictures I've seen I have yet to understand how to hook the wires up and such.



In the next few weeks I'll be swapping my truck to 6 lug.






but I'll be going with the OEM Chevy rims instead.

Thanks for all of yalls input.
