Very clean truck i wish mine was half as clean
Just curious, what throttle cable did you use? What kind of clearance issues with anything?
I used the 4.3 thorttle cable worked perfect

Thanks... I used the stock crossmember, I just had to cut the slot out a lil farther back and had a custom driveshaft built.. I fabbed up some traction bars myself and it put the truck in the 12's like I wanted.. Here are the videos.. 12.6 and 12.5

sorry it took a while to respond.. Its changed a little bit. The 5.3 spun a bearing so its now got an LQ4 in it. There are some threads on the updates on here...

Nice swap....what parts did you use for the intake snorkel? two 90 degree bends? Is there a metal sleeve in between? Or coupler?
do you have sizes and part #s?
thank you,
Doug
