Yea thats the way it goes though, I had my swap done last week. But when I went out for the first time, i trashed a lifter and destroyed a cam lobe. Got it fixed now though. Put up some videos when you get the new trans installed.

That's a great lookin dime. I wish mine was that clean. I just finished an LS6/T56 swap on my 97 dime. Please throw up some vids when you get a chance.

Ill do my best to get some vids for you guys... I dont have tags on it at the moment but I am gonna take it to the track on Sept. 8th if all goes well... I have a video of the first time out to the track when i lost 3rd gear... I also hadnt got my rear end swap done before that day so i ended up just leaving the stock rear under it to make a couple test runs with it... It was open diff so of course i couldnt launch it and i had to pedal it as you can hear in the vid... with a 2.5 (lol) sixty foot and having no 3rd gear i rolled through at 15.34 lol

Very nice, I'm looking to start my 5.3L lm7 swap in my 98 in a month or so. I'm gonna try to get a cam and a Procharger D1SC on the truck before May of next year.

The truck wheel hopped so bad I had to completely let off as you can see in the vid.. i would be happy with it if it wasnt for that but at least now i know what needs worked on...
