It's a 12551364 ;)

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

6.0 ls engine

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Gen III 6.0L engine or at least a block.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Oh, I kinda figured it was some sort of GM equipment from a serial number. But, just too darn lazy to look it up. LOL!!:lol:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Yup! Stumbled upon a good deal on a complete take-out, just had to take it out :chevy:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Good deal and congrats on the family addition !!!

Congrats on the motor.

This?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Thanks! We're excited!
The C5 upgrade is on the back-burner. Again. I've had this plan in my head for a while now, just need to make it happen...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

There you go thinking again!!! :lol:

Love the C5 idea, and the 6.0,,,,,,lead on! :metal:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Super score on the LS engine. Hope you didn't beat up your knuckles too bad getting it out:)
Looking forward to this install.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Can't wait to watch the new heart get installed.

Hopefully there will be a detailed installation in this build thread... (hint, hint) :D

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Gears are always turning, sometimes smoke pours from my ears :mm:
Not too bad- it actually came out pretty easily- saved a few bucks pulling it myself, too :)
Will do. Gonna try to do it 'on a budget', without making it look like it. I'll keep you guys updated as it progresses...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Now that I can't wait for. I wanna do an LS swap in my truck really bad. But all the aftermarket "swap" parts run a little more then I like to spend. IE, harness, headers, ect. But then again, I'm a tight ***

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

The plan is to keep it cheap- most items can be done DIY to save money. It's been proven you can spend a bunch of cash on one of these swaps; I'd like to see how little I can spend and still have a nice setup...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Nice looking motor, I wanted to do an LS Swap too but the cost of it and the lack of knowledge on my part I decided to go Big Block. Can't wait to see how it turns out for you.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Looking forward to a well documented with lots of pics....hint....cheap install.

What's the tranny plan? did you buy that with the motor too?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

6.0L!!! Sweet!!!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Such as using a factory harness... :D

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

I think I can do an LS cheaper than big block- hopefully waaaaay cheaper. You got a smokin' deal on yours. I'm looking forward to the reliability/driveability of the modern powerplant...
Will do! Sticking with the 700r4 that's in the truck, for now ;)
I know, right!:metal:
Definitely in the cards. I would have more in a harness than I do in the complete engine, if I bought one...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Subscribed, It took me almost a month to find this thread again....Love your truck and enjoyed the build to this point...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

So, what led me to the 'yard where I happened upon the engine, was the search for a pair of pigtails to hook up my latest upgrade. I blatantly stole this idea from 67cheby, who blatantly stole it from another member :lol: They are Jeep Wrangler JK light housings that take an H13(9008) bulb. I mocked one up today to see how it looks. I kinda like it, but then it kinda looks bugeyed, too... Opinions?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

Thanks! More to come- they're never finished :chevy:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

The bulb does have a little buggy appeal but overall looks/fits well.

I'm curious to see the light quality once it's been hooked up.

I have a feeling an LS project will be in my future and not on my '69. :D Can't wait to watch yours come together.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

I like it! Cant wait for more

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
 

I have just spent the last 2 hours reading this build, and I can say very cool the way you were able to build and keep it from being in a million pieces.
