Chevy C10, LS1/T56 build

Ive been on this site for a while and have sold some stuff in here, so I figured I could at least post my Chevy truck project.
I have a build thread over on gmsquarebody.com, http://www.gmsquarebody.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=10021 but I figured I might as well have one on here also. Who knows, it might help someone doing the same swap.![Cheers!!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_cheers.gif)
Here was my first post back in 2014.....
Details:
SWB, Original Brown paint, original tan/brown interior, 103K on the 4.3, manual brakes & Steering, and the coolest part, 3 on the tree! It has the usual corner rot, but everything else, solid. There are quite a few road dings, but hell, Im not worried about those!
My Plan:
-Tune up. Not sure when it was last done, but she needs it! Runs and drives ok, but just seems down on power. AC blows cold so thats a bonus!
-Brake job. I hit em hard and I had one wheel lock up and it took a bit to stop.
-Radio. The stock, Cassette am/fm is toast, so its time for a modern stereo.
-Body work & paint. Hell no!
-Suspension. 4/6 drop
-Rims/tires. Stock steels widened and keeping the hubcaps!
-Exhaust. The CAT feel off, so Ill need to replace it with a Hi-Flow "Test" pipe.
Of course my step-daughter wants to drive it, eventhough she cant drive a manual...Hell, my whole neighborhood wants to drive it! You think I brought home a Limo or something as everyone was loving on it!
Anyway, here is a pic from yesterday when I picked it up. Ill get some more when I get home and start tearing into it.

After driving the truck for awhile, it just kept having issues, so thats when I decided to do the swap.
Well, I found a T56 out of an 6 GTO and made the drive to Indiana to pick it up.

This was the first LS engine I was going to use...
Instead of throwing more money at my truck trying to keep what it has running. I figure its time to remove the 4.3/3 speed and start my LQ/T56 swap.
I have been gathering parts and Ill post as I go.
Here are some new pics.....

Somewhere in the 2 years, I decided to put the LQ in my Chevy II. So I was always looking for another LQ or LS for the truck.
I finally came across a recently rebuilt LS1 that had a bad lifter. We went through it and everything looked good. I still needed a set of heads, so I fouund a set of 317s. I had the guys at BES cut down some LS3 intake valves, install those after they CNC'd the castings. We did a clean mill on the surface, as I came across a STUPID, SMOKING DEAL on a SC.
Dude came in selling a "Whipple" SC. He said he was paid to pull the blown up eng in a customers Humvee. Cust said F that SC!!
So we walk out to his truck and there is a Magnuson SC. I told him, dude thats just a Maggie, Not a Whipple. He asked me if it was worth scrap money. I told him I would give him $50 for it. He jumped at it!!
Best $50 I ever spent!!

I messed up and forgot to mount a drain pep-**** before I installed the tank. Im not sure if I have the clearance to install one now that the tank is mounted. Ill do some more measuring and hopefully one will fit. Worst case, I make one up front somewhere.
