Default Hesperia Pick-A-Part/ WG hookup

I saw 2 LS truck engines at the Hesperia Pick-A-Part. I took an exhaust manifold off of one. They are sitting in the bed of a red Dodge truck and are complete. I couldn't tell if it was a 4.8/5.3/6.0 but I'm guessing a 5.3 or 4.8 due to the 706 heads.

I also purchase a brand new TurboSmart Pro-Gate 50mm WG for $220 shipped from a guy in Texas. He said he had TiAL's too for the same price and cheaper. He said he buys in bulk. His number is 713-851-7893, give him a text.

It's good to know that there are some good stuff @ the Hesperia Picak-A-Part. I go there alot on 1/2 price days if I have time....so much that they know me there now. I might go to check out those LS2 engines and just see what I can find for the fun of it.

Cool man ! I'll be back there with my dad on Wednesday to get little thing off the engine like temp/oil sensors. They're not Ls2 though, probably 4.8 or 5.3. They have a 6.0 inside where you pay.

I was there too ! The same to 4.8/5.3 was still in the back of the red Ford(I know I said Dodge but I guess I didn't remember correctly)truck. My dad took a pulley and a couple of sensors otherwise they still are complete.
