Re: Project "Steppin Wolf" LS swap
Figuring up my budget. I set a $5000 cap when I first started and wifey agreed to it. This is what I've spent to date and all I have left to buy is a few more AN fittings since I've decided to make my trans lines out of braided hose, a drive-shaft, and Ill have to get a new exhaust system because I refuse to hook this new engine to my rusted out flowmasters,lol. I should be waaaaay under my original budget! especially if you factor in the sale of my old drive-train for $450, and some other parts Ill be selling soon. The stuff with the 0 next to it is stuff that was either optional or that could have been done alot more cheaply. For example, you don't have to clean and paint everything. I could have spent about $40 less on regular fuel line instead of the braided, if I wouldn't have taken everything apart to paint, I wouldn't have needed all the gaskets....stuff like that.
Im going to redo all this in WORD later for those that want to know what this swap cost. It should also be noted that I had more than one oportunity to purchase a complete 5.3 pullout with ALL accesories including the airbox, MAF,TAC harness and transmission for around the same price that I payed for this 6.0 that came with none of that. So I could have shaved around $1000 off this list if I just would have went for the 5.3 swap.
