    SM465 LS MANUAL SWAP

    So its a 1991 but it has a 350 marine motor. It used to be a 305 and an auto that was 4x4 but the previous owner made it a .50 and 2wd manual. So its hard to say.

    SM465 LS MANUAL SWAP

    So the good news is i can take a majority of the parts from his truck and swap it over to mine like the clutch pedal and stuff like that so its not just the trans, its more of the additional stuff like a mating system and if its hydraulic or not

    Bolting 5.3 to 700r4

    Oh yeah I’m going carbureted cause I get a discount on parts so the controller and Intake is only 800 bucks lol and I was gonna go with a Holley TBI later down the line for a vintage deal, but the intake comes with a TV cable adapter so it works out

    Bolting 5.3 to 700r4

    Thats awesome, I am keeping the 700r4 for the simplicity reasons and cost. I cant find any "good" 4l60es for a decent price that isnt "rebuilt" or beaten to **** and need a rebuild. Im gonna use the Pro Built kit which ive heard is pretty good and includes an instructional dvd. Any experience...

    Bolting 5.3 to 700r4

    Hey everyone, as the title states im gonna keep my 700r4 and bolt it up to my 5.3. My question is when getting the motor into the engine bay and mounting it up will I have firewall clearance issues? Will i have to get an aftermarket crossmember for my transmission like a 4l60E? I wanna just use...

    Tq converter for 5.3 ls swap in a 700r4

    yeah i unfortunately live in the great state of new mexico where income is lower and people overvalue the price of everything so that aint as realistic as you make it seem. Ive looked at the surrounding states and it is 100 percent like that but where i am its almost unheard of.

    Tq converter for 5.3 ls swap in a 700r4

    I guess i should also mention that the LS is gonna be carb.... to me it makes sense to keep the 700 at least until i can get like a 6l80e which is waaaaaay down the line of things and then do the electronic one. I guess I could always just get a reman 4l60e which i work for a shop so i get a...

    Tq converter for 5.3 ls swap in a 700r4

    Well the whole reason im wanting to keep the 700r4 is due to it just being easier to work with (to an extent) and to eliminate alot of the wiring, im fine with the tv cable adjustment its not that big of an issue. I was thinking of keeping just the stock converter but thought id dip my toes in...
