awesome build man! i would love to do something like this in my 96, was thinking either a 5.3/6.0 ls or 355 ltx (i have a lt1 short block sitting in my garage) with a blower. im assuming you had the 5.7 vortec/4l60e before? did you have to do any massaging of the trans tunnel to fit the 80e?

cool! good to know, i had read somewhere that the tunnel needed some massaging to fit a 4l80e which didnt make sense to me. i plan on parking my truck this summer to do some work on it (14 bolt swap, clean/por-15 frame, motor/trans build) and this has got me thinking about what i want to do motor/trans-wise. just add it to the never-ending list of stuff i want to do lol

Well somehow i had three main bearijg give out on me and my oil pressure dropped, i didkt run it long enough to spin anything or hurt anything, jusa polished the crank .010 and tossed in new bearings. Got the motor back together and in the truck in a couple of days so I could make it to turkey rod run, lucky for me it rained every ******* day until thanksgiving haha.
