Haha I wish I could. Does excellent work but is painfully slow. But to me that’s worth it.

So I have an update...

Pulled the 350 and th400 sold them both.

Picked up a 6.0 lq4 and started the process of getting that put in. Currently stripping the harness off the engine and am waiting on motor mounts to come in.

Rebuild kit for my 208 is here so I’ll tackle that while my guy is cutting down the harness and creating a new one. Some pics here I’ll update as I go along. Right now just been cleaning everything and gunna get it ready to paint and bolt in.

Cool, a 6.0 even !!! Have you found a 4L80-E yet? Your 208 should already have the 32 spline input.

I am waiting on they guy who I picked up the 6.0 from. He had one but his partner didn’t know it was sold already(is what it is). Rebuild kit for the 208 is here, mounts came in but don’t fit??? I’ll post pictures when I get home tonight. Gunna leave the motor as is for now, everything looks good on it, plugs, wiring, oil all checked out and seems to be on the up and up. Later on down the road I’ll get into a cam and stuff. I’m looking for reliability in the truck right now so I’m not trying to put my hands into anything I don’t need to.

Another update;

Usually work on this for 1-2 hours after work but progress is being made. Got water pump and power steering cleaned and painted. Have to say not happy with the orange. Makes me think it looks holloweenish. Gunna try a more red color.

Another question- I can maintain the ls stock exhaust manifold, correct? Or do I HAVE to go aftermarket? I did some measuring and I obviously have to take them off but just got me thinking(worries actually). I did not budget for exhaust manifolds because I’m sure I read somewhere that it’ll fit without cutting.
