Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

its the same exhaust as before, just a lot more power!!!

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

that sounds awesome man! what mufflers r u running? kinda sounds like flowmasters to me

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Ya, I think they are knock offs, crazy how different it sounds from before, I don't think my you joints like the added power

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

hey quick question...what did u use for power steering lines? post pics if u have some. I read that the stock c10 lines can work with the 5.3 pump.

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

better look into some new u joints lol

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

I was able to use the ones from the 5.3, they worked with my gear box, my gear box leaks pretty bad tho

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Ya I'm getting some tomorrow, they are making that clicking noise before they go bad

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

yup just pull the weird stuff off the back of the 5.3 pump and slap the stock valve & fitting from the old sbc pump in there. worked like a charm and no leaks. take a sec to flush your box and pump. mine got moisture in it from sitting and made a nice milkshake when i fired it up.

Kool thanks fellas

Doing odd and end stuff, this truck hasn't seen a overflow tank in ten years!!!

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Lookin good . I take it you used the stick radiator? I nerd to get a radiator for mine. What did you end up doing for the mufflers?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

I used the same ones as before, They where somewhat new so no need to replace them

Check engine light location

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

My pics always load sideways so annoying

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Hooked up and ran, no codes at the moment, when it does throw a code it's crazy bright, that just lets you know it's working

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Custom made shifter for the old KLS-10...deer antler from a few years back

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Linkage is getting there, gotta make some adjustments

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

so this linkage somewhat worked, didnt want to go into park, so back to the drawing board...i might do something similar except with 1/4 inch steel, i may do the something but go underneath the column instead of over it...pretty frustrating!!!!!

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

any ideas would be very much appreciated!!! not trying to buy too much stuff, still have the old linkage as well

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

I used the stock linkage in my 71 swap just swaped the c channel cup on the trans

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

you got any pics?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Looking good. I just picked up the pump fitting for mine as well. I also need to div the linkage. What transmission are you running? I need to do my linkage too.

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

I'm running the 4l60, shifts good, for a couple days i drove around with the linkage coming through my little door window!!! haha...too eager to get her out and about

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

I just slid my pointer on the frame back until it lined up with the shaft on the trans. About 7/16". Bolted it up and never thought about it again.

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

I'm working on it right now

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

You got a pic by chance?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

I got it man, I had to goto ammco to get the piece to slide it in but so much easier than I was trying to do

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

My view right now...

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
