Re: Project 30 Be Low

Just in case anyone was wondering if an LS swap is going to lighten the truck any? I pulled out a 402 ci with a turbo 400 tranny and I am going to swap in a 6.0 LS (LQ9) with a 4L80E trans. The modern engine with the iron block is super heavy still. In the process of strapping, lifting, twisting, pulling, moving, adjusting, pulling some more, I forgot to close the nut on one of the quick links. Well you can see what happened. Glad I caught this before I navigated the cherry picker over the concrete floor four feet in the air.
