Default New guy from OKC
Hey guys I'm Donnie, I just got a 5.3 out of a 03 Tahoe to put in my 71 C10. Every time I do some research on this swap I get pointed to this site, so here I am. I have already found so much information it's almost overwhelming. Anyway here are a couple pics of the upcoming project.

I have this.



Going into this.

It will end up being a DD so I'm not going to crazy with it. Might use some POR 15 paint on it, but no podercoat or anything.
