Something thats not going to fit under the hood?

Something thats not going to fit under the hood?

well I have a cowl hood and the guy i bought it from had it on his colorado which was one of the newer ones with the 5.3 v8 and it fit fine.

Colorado's and Canyon's are some of the most unloved trucks there are, it seems, anyway. I always thought they were great for what they were, especially considering no one makes an updated midsizer. Should be a nice project!

NICE! I've been looking for a low-mileage L33, they seem to be hard to find. Would you mind telling me how much you scooped it for?

900 some said i paid too much but around here that was the best deal and only 24k miles

I shouldn't have looked but that's exactly what I want to do to mine when it dies a natural death OR I find one w/ everything included 1500 bucks. LOL Nice find man and the truck looks sweet! Can't mod mine as I swore I'd leave it stock. 6 yrs owning it and so far so good.

Nope as I'm trying to stay away from the mod bug. LOL! I'm on coloradofans.com but rarely post or go there for that matter. I'll check it out though. Thanks!

Lol well trust me 355nation is WAY better than coloradofans

very nice!

Good lookin truck & definitely a Sleeper! Is everything plug n play for the swap engine to trans, harness?? Any custom modification? What size is your trans & what oil pan you'll be using? & will it be possible to drop in a Ls1 or Lq4/9 to fit??

Pretty much all ls based motors will fit in. Most of it is straight forward. Plus they have a 5.3 available in the 09 and up

Started stripping the motor down

Stopping in to say hey to a fellow 937'er. I'll probably see you around. Nice truck.

I have a cam coming 225/229 getting it off a buddy who bought it for his, i'm sticking for the factory 799 heads for now since I'm told they are basiclly LS6 heads

Stopping in to say hey to a fellow 937'er. I'll probably see you around. Nice truck.

thanks man, I'm actually over in the huber Heights area

I actually live in Englewood/Union so you're just down the road from me.

yup so if you want to lend a helping wrench lol

You can bring the motor on over to Indiana and we can put it in my '05 Coly instead, sound good? Lol. 3.5L isn't enough power for me...

a buddy of mine in South Bend turboed his 3.5 in his colorado

Yeah. I've seen the truck. Sweet Coly. Way more money put into his truck than I could ever justify putting into mine. Lol. I thought about picking up a 5.3 for mine, but it sucks already in northern Indiana winters and that's only with the 3.5, couldn't imagine how bad it would be with a 5.3. Ha.

lol though honestly the 3.5 in mine with intake, exhaust, and a mild tune still isn't too bad for what it is.

Still need to paint the heads, valve covers, brackets, water pump, pulleys, etc....

Not sure how I'll do the fast intake

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/coderedzq8/b0ae8668.jpg

Are you doing everything red?

Are you doing everything red?

nah, the valve covers will get a shot of red, I have a new oil pan that will be left in the natural aluminum, the heads, brackets, and water pump will be painted in a aluminum paint, pulleys will be black

Swapped out the oil pickup since I have to use a LH8 oil pan (colorado/canyon/h3) since the silverado one won't work, and the oil pickup was too long so I had to use a LH8 one. However I did get a new windage tray but I saw no need to swap it out.

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/coderedzq8/a712c73c.jpg

LH8 pan, it will be staying the cast aluminum color

and another reason why I can't use the pan

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/coderedzq8/43bfb92e.jpg

Is that the stock height or did you lower it?

So far so good man, keep up the update. by when you think ull have the swap done?

That's going to be a sweet swap! If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for your the 5.3L? Reason I ask is, I am looking to do a swap and I think the local yards are ridiculously high on their prices. You can pm if you don't want to put it out there.

Hoping it'll be in the truck and running this winter I still have alot of parts to get

$950 with 24k miles some said it was a high price but it was a good price for the miles and for what is around here

It looks like a really good project man! Can't wait to see the videos of it tearing down the street when its done! Keep up the good work!

op thats the best looking one ive seen, props on a nice build

Walts auto huh...

decent place.

did you get a warranty with that engine? if not it looks like a reman engine because of the tattle tale on the core plug on the head.

however, great looking truck.

Thats the first LSXRT intake i have seen on an engine, and i will say, its HIDEOUS looking.

warranty is long gone. I got it in April and it came with a 90 day warranty lol

yeah the intake isn't that great looking but for a price of 650 I couldn't complaint too much and it looks much better and will perform much before than the factory truck intake

How is the project coming, any updates ?

How is the project coming, any updates ?

no updates unfortunately, been focusing on insulating my garage and getting things done in there, and then had to get my Jimmy ready for winter driving, and now having to work on my roommates braking system so I don't have to take her to work every morning.
