Re: 86 K30 Restomod LS swap AKA Blue Rust

In my engine hunt I found a rough '08 3500 express van 6.0/4l80 that I got for hopefully a usable engine and parts. It ended up having a bad engine but I was able to use it for some parts or mock up parts and sold the rest.

Ultimately afterwards I found on LKQ a low mile 2016 wrecked truck and was able to get a decent price on the L96 6.0

I used a 2008 express fuel line to come off the motor and go to another 3/8 tubing on the frame to the tank. Seemed to be a decent fit.

I also decided to make a custom rear tank with a factory gm fuel sending unit/pump. I had to make some custom crossmembers, aluminum tank, and stainless straps that could work with the exhaust and clear the 14 bolt.
