5.3 SSR Engine Installed with 4L60E

[DarkFox1]

thanks, yea no hurry here, I started this project in 01 lol, the only thing original left is the cab, front suspension, rearend, and the control arms. everything else I've replaced/plan to replace.

I started with a 71 chyenne longbed 350, now I'm looking at a 67 shortbed LS1/Vortech/327/whatever else you wanna call it heh

I just decided when I got it down to the frame back in 01, that I wasn't gonna be happy unless I built exactly what I wanted, so I'm very very slowly following that dream.

This is a lot of good info indeed. If I were a great poster, or took pics worth a crap, I'd try and make a how-to on this stuff, cos I'd certainly like to see a sticky or a good article on the forum about this swap, its getting very popular to do I thnk.

I mean think about it.. 285+hp easy, 14mpg, overdrive, and an engine setup to handle all elevations and weather conditions.. how can it get better than that? hehe couple that with the feasibility of a T56 bolton.. the only thing that could be better is an ls2 maybe heh, or stacy's 572 in copperhead lol, but who has $14k to dump into a project engine anyway besides TV show hosts
