5.3 LS swap in a (look)

[oldman3]

Hey Guys, this is about an LS engine swap, but it's in a 49 Dodge pickup. Yes I know this is the chevy truck site, but I've learned alot from all of you on this LS swap forum, and just wanted to post this on here. The Moderators may move this to Alternate Tinkerings, but I wanted to try the LS forum first.

Anyhow my son Mark has done 99% of the work, with me just helping when he needed it, and giving him info from this site on parts, etc. He started with a stock 49 Dodge pickup with flat head six and three speed trans. I beam front end and stock rear axle. This was a learning build from the start. Only going to show about 8 or 9 pics. If anyone has questions I will try to answer after I check with my son to make sure I'm right.
