yeah i had the 5.7 and 4l60e, and no i didnt have to do anything really to make the trans fit i even used the original cross member! it already had a bunch of holes in the frame from the factory so i just slid it back and used those, it doesnt hit the firewall or even come close, i used dirty dingo mounts and i could probably slide the engine back another inch if i really wanted to.

 

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

 

Hmmmm. '95-'97 GMT400 4x4 and swap in a 6.0L/4L80.....and turbo??

 

lol that would be badass

 

This build is sick dude! I would lover to build a truck like this after my s10.

 

thanks man, i finally got the 8 rib setup and F1 mounted, fuel fittings should be in this week and the A1000 should be working!

 

Looking forward to more progress!

 

got a set of holley valve covers for free and got the HOB bracket and F1-a mounted and ductwork ran, still need to mount the big red valve and run the fuel system, just waiting on fittings from summit.






and the Garden hose i ordered haha

 

Sweet build man!!

 

these AN fittings and hose ends are killing me lol they are the most expensive part of the whole fuel system and its the cheaper summit versions!!!!

 

got everything mounted and no leaks that i can find

list of crap
20 gallong ebay fuel cell
Aeromotive A1000 +100, 10 micron filters
Aeromotive boost ref regulator
Holley EFI fuel rails
-10 feed line to spliter
-8 to rails and return
a **** ton of AN fittings

 

Looking good dude!

 

finally got around to relocating the battery to the bed and installing the Big red valve, which sounds ******* awesome btw...

 

Have you ran it at the track with the HOB/F1 set up yet? Your truck is SICK!

 

thanks!

havent taken it to the track yet wtih the new setup, my a1000 **** the bed and got some oil pressure issues that i hope is just a bad gauge or failing oring and not something serious. then gotta mount the new Qa1s and i can take it to the track again lol. hope to make it to turkey rod run this year as well.

 

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.

 

Couple more pictures, also got some advice on how toake the truck hook better from a guy I met down in Daytona. Also got a date to get it Dyno tuned in December hopefully it does what I want!!

 

truck looks awesome, nice work

 

awesome build!

 

Is the thread on the gm ls head m12x1.5? I'm going to try this with my porsche temp sensor.
