Re: How about some pics of 99-06
Alot of diffrent reasons. Alot of people will think its stupid but I just decided to.
-I had a 4.3 and the miles were getting pretty high. -I cant imagine building this truck and in the end it having the sluggish 4.3 -Every time i try to modify anything I have amillion wires in the way. -Eventually I want it to be magazine quality and uner the hood never looks good on these trucks becuase of all the wiring and fuse boxes etc. -I love old trucks and wish mine was one -The theme of my bulid is "rat rod" -Theres alot more dress up parts for small blocks over a 5.3 or 6.0 -If i dropped a 5.3 in it, it would be just another bagged rcsb with a 5.3 ...yep |

I like it! and I was gonna say looks like your going for a "hot rod" theme so an LS wouldn't fit the look. I love clean engine bays and your right you would never get that with an LS. The other thing I see is simplicity, that motor takes all of 5 mins to hook up and run, with starting out with a V6 (like me) to put a late model V8 in there means complete harness, computer, fuse blocks, BCM......where the old school V8 just needs power and gas and go! Oh and the cost difference is huge! I have several older V8 just laying around because I have picked them up for under $100 and they are fine, good luck finding a Late model V8 with harness and everything for under $1K.
Sorry to jump on my "soap box" but I always wonder why people get up set when people done buy the biggest newest thing for their projects.....again this is just my opinion/personal experiance. I have to build everything on a super tight budget because I don't have tons of play money so I have considered doing this very same thing several times. I just worry about the city bringing emissions testing back and not being able to pass..... Anyway franklin28 I can't wait to see the build thread! Nick |

Since he started with a 4.3, I totally understand, and yes all of the things I listed are a little expensive but possible, and yield a very clean look. Yes there is a Fuel Injected LS3 under there...This one didn't relocate coils though, just covered them. http://speednik.com/files/2010/12/ho...ne-640x426.jpg http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/def...5dca71d097.jpg |
