Re: Project: Daily Driver
 

Love the direction you are going with the build, i'am curious as to why you are installing a new engine crossmember and not using the orginial?

What are your plans for the under hood wiring harness for the new motor?

Keep up the good work.:gmc2:

Re: Project: Daily Driver
 

There are some issues with crossmembers on the LIFTED 4X4 trucks causing motor mount and crossmember problems.

I bought a stand alone harness set up for a 4l80e allready by Nelson Performance off ls1tech

and Thanks! I'm just trying to have all the parts here so I can do the swap head on after my vacation! :chevy:

Re: Project: Daily Driver
