Well last motor spun a rod bearing and basically was just junk after I tore it down and got to looking at a rebuild. So I ended up getting a fresh built 6.0 w/ arp rod bolts new rings and all new bearings from a local guy who just so happened to get the motor from another member on here(burgers). The car had been wrecked 3 years ago and the radiator support has needed to be replaced so I thought this would be a good time for it all so heres some pics

Also forgot to add from the time the car spun a bearing till this finished product was only 3 weeks.

started with this



got the new support set in



transplant time



and new motor in



and on the road again

LOL thanks im assuming ur swap is with the motor still in the vehicle which makes it a little more difficult, but ls1howto was great for pics and torquing instructions. Glad i can give you a little motivation.
