a few body shop pics, after my tbi 350 and drivetrain swap, bought truck to build new mudtruck but was in waaaaayyyy better shape than i thought when i got it home!

Decided the tbi motor wasnt good enuff so i wanted to do a ls swap and started looking for a 5.3 to swap in and ended up getting a whole 03 6.0 truck fall in my lap at the body shop after i got it home. So i started over!

And so it began........ Again! pulled the 6.0 and got to work!

Broke down the motor and checked everything really good and cleaned it up and painted the block and valve covers, Black of coarse!

As for gas tank I used a stock 87 tank and sender and put the right pump in it for my fuel pressure. It really was simple. There is a pic of the sender and how I set up the lines, I used the safety fittings for a ls1 and pushlock hose to go down to the lines. I reused the fuel lines from the 03 donor up to engine bay.

Dan, do you have the pin outs for the temp sender? I need to do the same thing.

I took the two wire plug apart and used the plug for the ac pressure sensor which is the same as the temp sender plug, and put them in the same spots and used the third wire for the green temp wire on my factory side harness. If that makes sense, if not I can do a picture to show u in a day or so.

That would be great. I am no no particular hurry.
