Re: 72 Highlander LWB w/ 5.3 and 6L80e
They made some great progress the last couple days getting the front suspension completed, front brakes on, mounting the air tank brackets, and putting on the new bumper with hidden hitch.

Re: 72 Highlander LWB w/ 5.3 and 6L80e
Got the motor back in, started plumbing the air ride, plumbing the fuel system, and the cab back on. They're making a mount for the valves and e level controller to mount them behind the seat and they're going to make a similar mount for the ECU.

Looking good.

Re: 72 Highlander LWB w/ 5.3 and 6L80e
Very nice progress! That chassis is really nice, love the brake upgrades too. couple of questions, Are you going to fix the rust in the cab/rocker(s)? What are you planning to do with your coil packs?

The coil packs I think we're going to mount them off the back of the motor. I plan on changing the intake shortly after we get it running. I originally wanted to try to mount them inside the frame rail but with the way the tubes are routed on the Dougs headers it blocks a couple of the wires from getting up to the plug. |
Re: 72 Highlander LWB w/ 5.3 and 6L80e
Your build is coming along Nicely! Are you adding the TUTD feature for the tranny? Would you mind getting me the part number off of the transmission shield on the right side of the tranny? I misplaced mine and need to get a replacement. Thanks.

Re: 72 Highlander LWB w/ 5.3 and 6L80e
Parts envy to the fullest, haha. Looking good, you are making some serious progress.

Got the truck on the ground and moving up and down tonight. I'm gunna be driving up to Houston tomorrow morning so I'll be able to get some better pictures and hopefully we'll get the chance to maybe set the bed on it this weekend. The K member is sitting on the ground in the pictures where the truck is laid out.

Re: 72 Highlander LWB w/ 5.3 and 6L80e
It is really coming along well, and can't wait to see it all finished. Very nice!

Re: 72 Highlander LWB w/ 5.3 and 6L80e
Looks awesome, nice job

Re: 72 Highlander LWB w/ 5.3 and 6L80e
killer build!

Re: 72 Highlander LWB w/ 5.3 and 6L80e
This picture is from a few days ago but it's the most up to date so far. I'm gunna be making another trip up to see it tomorrow and then I'll be leaving the country for a couple weeks. Hopefully it'll be done and driveable when I return. I almost thought about cancelling my trip just to help finish building the truck but I don't think the gf would be too happy about it.

Re: 72 Highlander LWB w/ 5.3 and 6L80e
I have the same question as hatzman. Does the 6L80 require a high hump trans tunnel?

Here's a couple more pictures from a few weeks ago, we're getting close to firing this thing off and hopefully driving it. The plan is to drive it with the elbow for a few months so that we can run a MAF setup to get all the kinks worked out and then we'll fabricate a mount to run a stock style intake filter. http://www.lstwo.com/images/05167325063721338617.jpg http://www.lstwo.com/images/27723167334300350462.jpg http://www.lstwo.com/images/39194832641003137950.jpg |
Re: 72 Highlander LWB w/ 5.3 and 6L80e
I haven't posted an update on here recently but we got the truck running and driving. It's made a few trips around the block but still needs an alignment and a good tune before it's ready for some serious driving. Sorry I'm really lacking on the pictures and videos, I just have limited time to go and work on the truck and get into a zone and realize I should have taken more pics a couple days later.
