    About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures

    Got the engine back from the Machine Shop. I'm a little under the weather right now but as soon as I'm better I'm going to start gapping the rings

    About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures

    Thanks it's a 4:10 rear gear. I'm not sure what converter but the trans shop is getting me a new one for the cam and towing. I gotta have a good sound though, almost went with the elchoppa. What did you do for an AC compressor? Any pictures?

    5.3LS won’t rev?

    I'm new to all this so can I ask one dumb question? I've been looking at this dongle a lot. Will it work with a bench harness to delete vats and rear o2's?

    I wanna be your huckleberry. I might take you up on that crossmember. I was thinking I couldn't just use the stock one and drill a couple new holes but I'm pretty far from that point right now.

    About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures

    Thanks man, yeah it's been a dream of mine since I was about 13 years old back in the early 90s to have a 454 in a square with a big cam but I'm over it now. I'm on the fence about selling this engine and trans I'll make that decision after the new setup is finished. The only thing leaking on it...

    About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures

    Right now the block, crank and heads are at the machine shop and the trans is at the trans shop. Hopefully it will all be back soon so I can start putting it together. The plan is to put the engine together. Then pull the truck in and pull the front bumper off and the whole front clip. Then...

    About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures

    I think I got a decent start on the millions of dollars of parts I'm gona need. I'm going with the super hip truck Norris cam cus it sounds good and one of the first questions the wife had when I took on this project was is it going to sound the same? There's a pretty good cam in the 454 so I...

    I'm kind cheap when it comes to stuff I can make myself so I spent about a half hour and made up my own lifting plate. I used the old gasket between there to not scratch up the block, it also made a great templet to make the plate.

    It was a pice of cake getting the engine out being that there was basically no body on this rig. I saved pretty much everything I thought I would need. It came with a really nice set of headers I'm hoping to reuse

    About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures

    So I found me probably the coolest truck on the internet and a true dream rig for a hillbilly like myself on the markplace and drug her on home. This rig fired right up with a new battery. I couldn't believe it but I had to, I was looking right at it. The kid and myself had a blast rippin it...

    About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures

    Well hopefully not, I guess I'll start a swap thread here since I have plenty of downtime away from the truck 3-4 days a week with that terrible thing they call work. I have an absolute beautiful 1986 GMC 3500 with a big ol fo fiddy fo and T400 that's a smelly gas guzzling, gas spewing hunk of...

    Chevy 6.0 with 4l80e

    @Mr Clean I've seen some pretty un intelligent things typed on forums over the years but you sir, deserve an award. Thanks for the entertainment

    Water getting in

    It could be your windshield gasket. That's where mine was just leaking. Have somone spray it with the hose and sit inside and watch for it.

    What's your level of education? You should really do some research on the bill of rights.

    A/C System Leaks

    It's the rubber hose connections on the line set. Take them to a hose shop and they will replace and properly crimp on the hoses.

    Chevy 6.0 with 4l80e

    Just out of curiosity does this forum allow people to just shit all over someone's for sale ad? This is the first time I'm seeing this. I'm really just on gun forums besides this forum and that's a big no no on them. Although I do appreciate all the posts in this thread, really learned a lot...
