Engine looks like a factory fit and those gauges are nice.

What did that set you back? I am on the fence so far about building my 350 or doing the swap.

Thanks !! Haha
It set me back enough . It was a newer motor so it was more . I got a really good deal on it tho lol . It's just all the thing I need the 6 speed auto to work and everything thing else added up real quick ha
Rusty I was in the same boat as you .. I said F it and went this route

Chin up 69Rumbler, you may not have a 572 but you probably don't have that dash pad either. ;) Congrats on the install.

I just couldn't resist after your lead in. That Vortech looks good in that truck. For a DD that's a really good choice. Mine, you measure the mileage in gallons/mile but it sure does spank the boy-racer mustang guys!

Closer to six!
But it's how you get there that matters, not the destination. :metal::metal::metal:

5K, (w/o dash) is a GREAT price!! I have more than that in my 383 and I have no FI, computer control, OD trans, etc. Hind sight.......

Good job!

Re: Eat Your Heart OUT !!
 
What kind of mileage are you getting out of, not a play run, but when your keeping your foot out of it.

69Rumbler 03-16-2014 04:44 PM

Re: Eat Your Heart OUT !!
 
Yea I love my truck even more hahah ... It's awesome for a DD , I'm getting more them 10 light poles haha like 17 mpg realistically driving ..
Thanks guys it was one thing after an other with this paint is next just can't put a cheap paint job on it . So I need to save , hahah
Yea I got a good deal on it . It's good to be able to talk people down when it comes to paying them lol ... I wanted an 6.0 but for the price couldn't say no , and I'll have to drop a cam and I'll get an extra 100 Hp . So I'm ok with that .

What exhaust manifolds and motor mounts did you use? Did you modify the Engine harness or computer?

Tillik 03-16-2014 08:48 PM

Re: Eat Your Heart OUT !!
 
And did you have to mod your frame for the exhaust manifolds?
