Been gone a while. Been busy buying a house and doing house work. Going to slowly start working on the truck again and hopefully this winter get a lot done on it.
Searched around my area for a LS engine and ended up picking up a 99 LS1 from a local junkyard.
Getting acquainted with the truck.
Comparing it to my last project... yes it's a Honda hah
Also picked up a Ford Explorer rearend from the same junkyard. 3.73 gears and limited sleep.
And after searching so long and finally biting the bullet on the LS1 exactly 1 week later I found one pop up locally on craigslist with 4l60e transmission for cheaper than I paid for the last one so I had to snag it also.
So now I have 2 LS1's and the auto tranny. I am going to look them over and choose one 2 keep and sell the other. I'll use the tranny to mock up and figure out my trans tunnel but then sell it and look for a t56.
So far the plan is not to buy an EZ chassis swap kit and painless engine/cab harness. I know it is all more money but I just want to get it done and enjoy it.
