Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

LOL ...

Maybe i am just confused by i was asking what type of aircraft he works on.

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

still working on that one

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

Sorry bout that thought you wanted to know what type of air condition unit we were going with. Pardon my dumm arse!:dum:

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

Hey don, are those the original spark plug wires?

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

What paint did you use on the engine?

Are you going to use the same paint on the tranny?

Just curious cuz i think it looks killer! And wouldnt mind doing the same to my 5.3L.

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

Hey Killer how about i take my truck there and he can put that motor and tranny in mine......lol ....just joking had to make a funny with a louisiana member.....i am watching this thread sure looks good so far....Does Don make house calls???? lol

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

nah, i better keep it. Been planning getting this done for over a year. Just had to find someone to do it!;)

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

anyone know if it would be possible to use the stock compressor setup on this newer motor w/a vintage air system?

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

yes it's possible and maybe a little easier! Just depends on what set up you wanna run.

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

actually thinking about using the "surefit" from old air, and also.. besides the motor what kind of cost are you looking at to do this?

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

hmm... be prepared... 9-10000 approp and rising everyday. you can do it much cheaper but i updated everything and I am having this swap done. I didn't have any notion to do it by myself.

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

i do believe so..



on the trans (color) you'll see what it looks like here soon

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

thought you might have put another set of wires on it...they looked brand new but I guess that's cause they are!

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

What paint did ya use on the block?

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

I believe he uses aircraft paint but I may be wrong!

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

That is going to be a real cool set up. Please keep us posted.

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

That would depend on the aircraft i guess. In my line of aircraft work they are all a flat grey ....

That color he is using looks real nice .... i would like to use the same color on just my block and the tranny. So hopefully he chimes in and lets me know.

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

paint looks good, cant wait to see it in the truck

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

looks good..maybe one day i can do something like this to...i like the color of paint

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

Still no luck on the paint .....

Dont make me beg .... LOL

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

don't worry he'll chime in later; probably after 4:30

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

the paint is aluminum engine paint, high temp..

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

Where would be the most likely place i can find it?

Will it stick well on a iron block?

My motor inst a LS1 so its not the aluminum block.

Re: Killers 5.3L install
 

on the paint, auto zone, oreillys,napa all of them have engine paint...yes it'll stick to iron, with anything its the prep to get it to stick good.....
getting the wiring done, this is the most time consumeing part, but im moveing much quicker then on mine... took 1.5 nights of working on it to get where im at now ( on mine it took 2 weeks)... looks like a big mess, but it goes with any of the GEN III swaps....
