Re: 5.3 swap build so far

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Fuse block

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

kool thanx man

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

thanks man, with the ecu, i used part of the air box i got for my cold air intake to make the mount for the ecu, i was trying my best to use stuff i already had to keep this in budget and quality...it came out really good...for the fuse block i just mounted to the fender as you can see, the dude that did my harness made it easy for me to do so...im almost done tho man..feels pretty good

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

if you want ivorton74 i can get better pics tomorrow in the daylight so you can see better...hard to tell with iPhone pics at night...its no trouble if so...and trust me they look better in the daylight

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

yea that'll be kool...u just gave me an idea using the air box for the cold air intake...I actually have that laying around as im not using it in the truck. ur a genius!!

Re: 5.3 swap build so far

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Sorry man, I totally forgot...message me tomorrow I had a rough day at work...and it took me forever to cool down, I'm off tomorrow I maybe forever from that job lol

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

lol ok no problem man...I feel u..

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Ya man, stuff got crazy...almost had to quit (which I may do that anyways), only so much you can take for so little pay

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Here's one I found, not all the way in there but better than the ones I took last night, still hard to see since everything is black...I can get in there better tomorrow tho

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

that looks pretty good actually...u said u used one of the cai airbox plates to mount the pcm...how did u get the pcm to stay on there? I don't see anything holding it onto the plate.

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

I got a big zip tie holding it down...not sure if it's in that pic or not, but it's hard to see either way, and it's good and tight in there...and it's part of the cai box

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

oh yeah I think I see a white zip tie...kool man...btw any luck with the driveshaft yet?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Oh ya works good...going to change the rear ujoint tomorrow the original one is pretty tight, but it is a noticeable difference, wish I'd of done it years ago

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

It's a few lbs lighter...I wish I'd of weighed them I think I would guess about five lbs or so

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

oh ok I still have to get one made for my truck...I hope it don't cost too much since im on a tight budget.

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Ya man, I got the dude down to 130, 30 more than I wanted to pay but I'm happy with it
