Yeah that would be a sweet set up. :metal:

Re: project 62
 

I just reread my post, duh! Must have been thinking about my Silverado when I said it's "an '02 Firebird 6.0...." Since it came from a Firebird it is 1) a 5.7 and 2) it's an aluminum motor. Sometimes my brain and my hands don't coordinate when I type. Anyway, the problem with these motors is they come at a higher price than the 4.8 and 5.3 versions. I'll PM you and we can talk a little about this motor, trans, and miscellaneous parts.

Been a while since I was in Oklahoma. I lived in the garden spot of Oklahoma (Altus) for 6 1/2 years! lol We would have to talk about delivery options. :lol:

Nice project....any progress? lol

Re: project 62
 

Ordering parts thats about it for now.

Re: project 62
 

Well the lead on the 5.3 didnt end up working but a friends truck that i painted a few months back got T boned and still runs, all maintenance kept up but its a '94 and older than i was really wanting but everything is there so if i can get it cheap enough it might just be the power plant for this dude. With fuel costs being stupid and for the ok mileage that the 88-98's get i can live with that, plus they are fairly cheap to work on. So thats my toss up :lol:

Re: project 62
 

I thought you had a 5.3 already?

Re: project 62
 

I think I would look for the missing parts on the 5.3 and go that route. IMO

Any updates? Awesome build Scott!!

Re: project 62
 

^^ Thank you ;)


Well after going to the Power tour cruise in in Stillwater yesterday i think it lit the fire under my arse to get the truck going again! Talked to a guy with a LS in a 66 that was on the long haul of the trip and he averaged 22MPG the whole way. Not one truck there was laid out kind of like mine and the route i am going (that i saw, there were so many cars there it would take a whole day to see and wait until they all came in) I think it would be awesome to drive that whole thing :metal:
Spent the day getting the house in order and garage cleaned out to bring this dude home that way the shop is clear and when im home i can have the kiddos help me in the garage :metal: :chevy:

Re: project 62
 

I like this. It also means more peer pressure.

Re: project 62
