Re: 1971 5.3/4L60E first time swap
For starters we did not get motor and transmission in tonight, got them bolted together though! Dad wanted to paint the frame rails and cross member with some POR-15 since it'll be a while before truck gets restored again
Also learned a fun fact today while under the dash, our truck had a Anti-Dieseling relay wired into A/C wiring.
1. painting done
2. used a Dremel to get the stock 5.3 throttle cable to fit through the firewall, which it snaps into the pedal like it was made for it lol
3. found a nice burnt plug on the Heat/air switch, will be good to remove all the A/C wiring once we get vintage air installed.
4.Motor and tranny bolted together.
