Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build

Not a hole lot going on. Going to pull the motor next weekend and clean it and the engine bay up. Maybe even put it back in. But this weekend I removed the valve covers and painted them.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build

A small bit of progress. I installed the freshly painted valvecovers today. I also trimmed the starter wires and put new ends on them. Just need to shorten the alt wire and put a new end on it and the truck side will be done. I plan on pulling the motor this weekend and getting it ready. Not a hole lot more i need to do now with the motor in.

A buddy and I pulled the motor today. Then I got the bay pressure washed and almost ready for paint. I cant wait to get this thing running.
