    5.3 into 85 C10

    I will post as much pictures as possible, but this project will probably take a little larger getting everything ready for the swap.
    I am new to this form and new to the LSX scene as well. I have owned my truck for about two yrs now and have only done a little bit to it. 3inch springs, 2in shackles with a flip kit. Rhino lining under the bed. HIDs, and radio and speakers with full blk interior.
    My next project is putting a 5.3 into my truck. found a used 5.3. I am picking up from a friend of mine. I know that I will need a trans, but I would like to know what I need for this swap. I have read some of the conversion threads and know kinda what I need but if possible, I would like to see almost a list of things I need. And if there is a thread out there please let me know. Thanks guys for any infomation that I get, I appreciate any post.

    Rebuilding my 87

    nelson performance is good from what i here, but if you are looking to save a little on that I have the info for someone that will rebuild your OEQ LS1 harness for about 200. All in the route you want to go, I know people who have used him and they are pleased, but just hit me up i have collected a lot of info on this swap
