New here, but have been lurking for a while, figured I should make an account o I could post up about a 5.3 swap I'm doing here soon. Got a deal on an engine, transmission, custom wire harness, and tune recently. As soon as the harness is done, the truck is going in the shop and I'll be doing the swap with my dad's help.
My truck currently has a 307 with a Rochester quadrajet and factory intake, with a built 700r4 transmission (didn't know if I was going to stay carb'd or not). I got to roll this engine over 100k miles several months after I got it, and it's been my daily for over a year now. It'll also be getting a new windshield and a rubber kit and such while it's down for the swap.
I'll get pictures of the truck up here soon, and will update progress as I go.
