Is that the Delmo kit you're using for the throttle body? Do you plan to use MAF or go SD?

I’m too cheap for Delmo’s stuff, though it is very nice. The adapter I bought on eBay off of a guy in Australia, but it looks like Holley now sells them for ~$120. I’ll be using Fitech to run the engine, so SD for me

Which paint or powdercoat is that and which coil covers?

It's just dupli-color chevy orange-red #DE1607 from a local parts store. The coil covers are the Holley big block style covers. They were painted black, then masked using a set of decals that go on the script SBC valve covers, painted orange, then decals removed, then cleared over.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

Hi guys,

I am new to the forum.
I have recently finished a restomod 1986 K30 4x4 starting with an ugly ex-army truck. I will post a new thread on the build soon to try to help anyone else on a project like it. There are alot of nice swaps on here I could have learned from, I didn't know they were here!

Need to get a tune on it, finish up AC and some other details but pretty much ready to hit the street.
I like your style! Who makes the wheels?

I like your style, too. How’s you get the big block valvecovers to fit?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

Curious to know who's using stock plastic engine covers vs. keeping the intake exposed. I'm trying to decide if I paint up my intake or keep and paint the cover. I have the Gen IV truck intake meaning it works well but doesn't look very good.
Thoughts?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

Here are a few examples of a smoothed out stock truck intake.

The last pic is a intake I did for a customer (Blakes 67 GMC build) in that build I show step by step on how I did it.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

Hey guys, I need some help.. this is my first swap and I have no idea what I’m getting into. I have a 6.0/4l80 from a Denali, I replaced the intake from a TBSS. I’ve ordered a adapter plate to use the throttle body from the 6.0 intake. What does these connect to?
