I bought the truck looking like this (picture attached). The 5.7L was swapped out with a 5.3L and lowered with 20" wheels. Has anyone else done this engine swap or know if it's usually a good thing to do this? I know it came out of a 2003 Silverado. They took the fender wells out in the front as well, but I'm looking at putting some back in. Have you guys bought any modified fender wells for the 89' model that would work for something like this? I'm also looking at tearing out the interior and replacing it with black. I've looked at classic industries and what they have to offer as far as the interior goes, but is there a better place to get the interior from? I look forward to posting and hearing some feedback from you guys on this.

Thanks,

Justin
