Thanks I figured the truck won't be done anytime soon so I might as well go ahead and do the LS swap.

I have to re-do my exhaust and fuel lines for the dropmembers anyway so now is the perfect time to swap motors and get a little more modern. I had a 454/TH400 in my 72 and it is no comparison to the 5.3 in my 2013 GMC. This is what sold me on finally pulling the trigger on the swap. The 454 sounded better then my 5.3 does but I'll fix that

Thanks Jason, you haven't missed much, I'm still just working on the cab getting it ready for paint. Oh and I decided to swap drivetrains

I thought about swapping to the Trailblazer SS intake with the engine cover you have but I always liked the way the car intakes looked and my dropmember moves the motor up so I didn't want to run into any hood clearance issues. I wish I could do a blower but that is way out of my ballpark
