All joking aside, yeah I agree. I was really just kidding around. I'd just sit it in there as is. I like the LS motors. A lot of power and mpg. Mine will be lucky to get 6-8mpg.

lol i get 5 mpg on a cool day if im lucky, big blocks are my favorite , yours and bennette's look sweet , mine came off of a 88 hd chevy truck , it is a 4bolt main and it was rebuild with its factory crank and rods , then added some 30 over forged pistons , mild cam with aluminum heads, something simple , then it began , procharger but with the heat downhere it was nothing but problems with carbs, so i took it appart again down to the short block , so i added a comp cam w 670 lift so it rocks , fully roller , f.a.s.t. efi and set it up to run on strictly e85 fuel as its 105 octane , you can tell the rest just by the pictures , its putting 640 rwhp on a stock bottom end and its running awsome , so back to the 5.3 i want to see how far i can get with it ,no worries

big_al_71 · 10-31-2011, 01:20 PM

Going thru my pictures I found this picture from three years ago when Raul was putting my engine together. time flies when you are having fun.

72BlckButy · 10-31-2011, 05:59 PM

Great pic Al! It's amazing when you take the time to stroll back through your build pics what all you can come across.

big_al_71 · 10-31-2011, 09:01 PM

So true Nate ...

they're both....okay....

raull · 11-01-2011, 09:43 PM

hello boyz , i need a little help deciding , as you know one of the downsides of stepsides is the lack of room for equipment , i lower the truck to its lowest point used a rod for driveshaft purpuse, i will be raising bed panel so i have room to put the tank as u see in pictures , no exhaust will go trough here as its going on the outside of chassis , i cant put it behind rear end as im inatalling gas tank back there , it does not fit anywhere near the sides of bed so i can make work where is at , thoughts please or have u guys seen anything else , thanks

**67cheby** · 11-01-2011, 11:39 PM

i cant post a pic of mine from this computer that i am at now...but if you look somewhere in my build thread i think you could do it like mine !

raull · 11-02-2011, 07:34 AM

thank's mike ill do that

raull · 11-02-2011, 07:49 AM

mike its on page 12 post # 294 , you have a 4link set up ouside the chassis i still have the factory bar set up so that wont work for me , bid advantage with fleetside i saw u have compresors , battery , tank and still have room for a spare engine , lol
thanks

69CST-V · 11-02-2011, 09:47 AM

Raul, Can you run it horizontal along the centerline of the chasssis? Its hard to tell with the angle of the picture. If you crowd it into the center toward the drive shaft then maybe have your brackets drop from the bottom of the bed cross sills. Just a thought hard to tell with out being there with a tape measure.

raull · 11-02-2011, 01:06 PM

thanks Bryce , cross rails are not on there so yes that may work been that no mufflers will be there , ill check later , thanks again

**67cheby** · 11-02-2011, 01:18 PM

that was my thought... i think if it is close to your driveline and raised up you will have plenty room to clear you trailing arms

raull · 11-02-2011, 01:23 PM

yes i think so too , its hard just with looking at pix but now i know what u were trying to tell me , thanks guys
