Default My lsx swap into 95 rcsb silverado
I just finished the swap yesterday and it ran like a champ! It's not mine though It's my brothers. I went down to EL Paso Texas this past weekend and we did the swap together. He just got in from serving in Korea last Sunday and we started the swap the next day. I put the engine together here in Fort Worth and hauled all my tools and cherry picker and engine to El Paso. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
OLD MOTOR

I agree on the stock manifolds. We are currently looking for long tubes that will bolt right in to the truck. We are not wasting money an crappy short tubes.

Thumbs up Wheels & Tires
Really nice look'n truck guys! LS1 runs great with that cam. That tire/wheel set-up fits perfect too. Please give me the details on them. Wheel offsets, widths, & tire sizes. Thanks very much.
