Kind of a side step. A while back, this was the original plan for the truck - a carb swap, just to get it running and driving, and back on the road.
I also lost some pictures in between showing me picking up and cleaning up the 2003 Tahoe 5.3L for this build, but here it is on the far left - replaced the oil pan gasket, front and rear main seals, front and rear cover gaskets, valve cover gaskets, ceramic coated Camaro LS3 exhaust manifolds, and Dirty Dingo slider mounts, and new plugs and wires.
