    F150 LSx conversion - don't hate!

    Hey guys, gotta a truck here we've been working on.

    I know it doesn't fall into the GM category, but it does have an LS engine.
    Specifically, a 2002 5.3L engine.
    We're backing it up with a semi-built 60e.
    Rearend will remain stock.
    AC will work, along will all the gauges. However, gauges will consist of an Autometer set.

    Oh ya, something to really put it over the top! We're building a front mount turbo with a heat exchanger and a/w intercooler.
    The engine will be seeing about 5psi for now. Iron block 5.7L build is being thrown around as well, later though.
    Turbo is the standard T76 MP we use.



    Here is the rest of the build:

    Enjoy the pics:

    I knew you would like this build lol.
    btw, the engine fit just fine, a little work with the mounts, but not much, used the dirty dingo mounts again.
    notch the frame to accept the stock a/c compressor.

    Russell racing approved rubber push on line, to a barbed fitting, the other side is 3/8 and 5/16 GM connection.

    Makes it real easy and only one fitting needed. Plus, this hose, once pushed on, will never leak or pull off, no clamps required.
