Here we go, 70 C-20 with a 5.3

[oteixeira]

Well,

I finally bit the bullet and purchased my package today. Tell me if I overspent, I am worried I did. I got:

2005 FlexFuel 5.3 (L59) Silverado motor
4l60e trans
harness, w/ on board computer
Under hood fuse box
Gas peddle and module that plugs into the computer (I guess)

I paid 2200 for all this, it has 32K miles on it.

I am putting it into my '70 Chevy C-20, and will start to have some pictures soon. I ordered the Early Classic Gen III motor mounts, and they are (hopefully) on the way. I also ordered an 18 gallon fuel cell with fuel pump internal from fuelcellguy. So, what gotchas do I need to worry about?

The couple of things I always wonder about are gauges...are their pin outs for all the gauges on the computer, or do I need to get all new senders and drill and tap them into the block?

Also, The wire harness on these old trucks had half going to the front electrics, and the second half going to the engine, so can I just ignore the engine side of the fuse block and just re-connect the light's and accessories from the other side of that harness?

Thanks,

Orlando
