Re: 71 Chev SWB

I bought a 2006 Chev 1500 4X4 LWB PU for the motor to install in the 71. It has a 5.3 vortec with 148,000 miles. I paid $500.00 for it. I was going to pull the motor and get a 4L60E Trans for a 2 wheel drive and put the combo in the 71. However, I cleaned the 4x4 PU up, spent about $500.00 on the brakes, front wheel bearing and pitman arm and I have decided to keep it. I guess the 71 will have to wait for a 5.3 transplant. Here's some photos of the 4X4, I have about $1,000.00 invested and it runs and drives great.
