Re: my 80 build
 

thanks John, I just spent 1500 on the truck, hint once installed I'll be roasting a tire with ease

:metal:

Re: my 80 build
 

now time to find a 4l80 my plan is to find one without a converter if so I'll add one with around a 1500 stall and a mild cam, but the parts I do have is a brand 87 fuel tank and sender, with hoses and fuel filler tube, and I plan getting the harness lengthened so I can sill keep the wires hidden and mount the computer behind the glove box

Re: my 80 build
 

We need to put that on the list of to do's also. You need to be roasting "TIRES" not just one. :haha:

Re: my 80 build
 

haha ride the bumpstops on the way home? what is it ?6.0

Re: my 80 build
 

yes it a 6.0 but need study a little more to make sure its the lq9, and it had a half inch with the c-notch and stubby bump stops

Re: my 80 build
 

I starting disconnecting the wiring harness, but didn't get very far, it was hot outside

Re: my 80 build
 

i dont think its gonna be a lq9
its probably a lq4

Re: my 80 build
 

I look it up its a lq9 what I ordered

Re: my 80 build
 

drop it off at mmy house if its not the lq9 (:

Re: my 80 build
 

only if it was 4.8, when I got the motor it had two things wrong with it, was the oil cap was missing and the Idler pulley was broken so I emailed the seller I they said "I apologize for that and I will make it right. I will send a cap and replacement idler pulley"

Re: my 80 build
 

glad to see you got it and they are making it right. to double check if its a lq9 pull the plugs out and the pistons should be flat top. the lq4's are dished.

Re: my 80 build
 

Man, its been a while since I have gotten on here. Glad to see you got the LS. That is gonna be one sweet truck very soon. Way to go Aaron! :metal:

Re: my 80 build
 

thanks Dennis, I did get the motor down to a long block today, but it kind of hard doing it in the bed of the truck I was able to borrow a engine hoist so tomorrow I will be able to get the engine de greased
