Re: My New Truck
Here's my core I plan to start with, another 73-79 OEM Squarebody dash that is all cracked up.

Re: My New Truck
Man you never cease to impress me! I'll definitely be following along this restoration as my pristine original dash has now developed a single crack down the center from he speaker box.

Re: My New Truck
Started on the New LS Swap. I grabbed this LS Engine out of a running Express Van 2500. It seems pretty complete. Prior to purchase I did not get to pull the valve covers, but when I did I was pleasantly surprised how clean the valve train and the top of the engine was. Oh BTW its a LQ4 6.0.
Been doing a bunch of research of the Tejas Steelwork web site as he has a awesome guide that shows lots of tips on what to do for swapping a LS into a Squarebody. Here's the link: https://tejassteelworks.com/wp-conte...uide-73_87.pdf

Bravo! Best of luck sir... if I managed, I have no doubt you'll have yours up and running in no time. Feel free to reach out if you come to any dead ends. Edit: tejas' guide is very helpful. Also the United by Trucks youtube page, and specifically their "Pecos" build has a lot of solid info, part numbers etc.

Re: My New Truck
I haven't posted in a while. Been working on the new engine. Slowly tearing it down to see what's what. This LS engine looks real complicated from all the wiring and stuff up top. One you take that off it doesn't seem near as bad.
And of course this engine has a broken exhaust studs on both heads.
