As some of you know, my 5.3 in my S10 spun a main bearing so I done a 6.0 swap instead of building the 5.3 back. Ive got the 6.0 in and running and thought id post a couple pics up.




sittin in its own little den lol


I tried to get my wife to let me take the motor out of this and put in the truck and that was one of them HUGE NO's LoL

Thanks! My headers are coated.. So far I like the 8.8 and it's not caused any problems at all.

Thanks.. I got so tickled at my mom. When I got ready to pull out she stiffened up against the seat and was holding on tight then she looked over and said "I'm ready, I know this thing is gonna jerk my neck" Lol.... Good times...
