Hey guys I am starting a new build for a customer ....going to be a very mild Lt1 that I am going to transplant into a 92 4x4 silverado. If you have any suggestions from your own experience I would like to hear them. Will keep you guys posted!

 

hope he doesn't plan on mudding lol

 

Hey talk about some hydrolock huh!... I don't know he's got too pretty of a paint job to get in the mud for the first year or so anyhow..but who knows

 

muddy opti

 

oh yeah that would be an issue also.

 

That would be cool, I'd like to swap a LT1 in my ECSB 98 Truck!

I want a short bed or step side.

 

I did it before in my 1996 Silverado. Excuse my hair, I was in need of slice em up.
