Re: Finally starting my 5.3 swap!!

Update...we got the motor to turn over today!! Unfortunately it didnt fire up cuz the tank pretty much empty. Ill get some gas n try it again when i get the chance. I still have to get the radiator and driveshaft and turns out the starter is not aligned to the flywheel properly so when u crank the motor u can hear metal scraping....gotta take care of that for sure. Ill try n post the vids of it.

Btw what do u guys do about the throttle cable and lower rad hose?
