Re: Finally starting my 5.3 swap!!

UPDATE....Its been a while but progress is finally being made. Today I pulled the truck into the shop and started taking it apart. My buddy decided its best to pull the cab and front clip off together so that way we'll have plenty room to work. The cab bolts all came out no problem which was a bit shockin sice the truck has some rust but everything went smoothly except the driveshaft that was a royal PITA to get out somehow. The 350 trans is toast but the motor still runs good and is going into my buddy's truck. I left early to take the wifey out but the motor and trans should be out as im typin this. Tomorrow im going to try n clean up the frame a bit and put 5.3/4l60 in there. More pics to come...
