2 LSX Swaps

Hi All

I think I have officially gone nuts! I bought both the 72 GMC's (K20 & C20) that Bad4X4 had for sale a couple of months ago. I have spent the time searching up various engine combo's for the C20 but I wanted an LS for the K20 with an Overdrive tranny. I think I'm heading into info overload as every search seams to end up in hundreds of posts to read. In case it isn't obvious, I haven't do an LS swap before now.

I just picked up a 2004 C2500 with a 6.0 for the C20, and was planning on driving the K20 while I put the 6.0 in the C20. Then I found the QuadraJet on the K20 started leaking fuel and the fuel inlet stripped when I took it apart. Low and behold, I came across a 2000 K2500 with a 5.3 and blown transmission cheaper than a new carb. Of course I haven't got any room to store all these trucks. BAD4X4 has been great and the C20 is still at his place but I have to pick it up soon.

So my quandary is what parts do I need to strip off the donor trucks so I can send them on the way.

My thoughts are:
2005 C2500 - Drivetrain Engine to driveshaft, wiring harness, throttle pedal, TAC module, transmission cross member, computer

Question - Is it worth it to change out the rear axel to upgrade to disk brakes?

62000 K2500 - Engine, wiring harness, computer


If I can find a cheap quadrajet, i'll stick to my plan, however I may end up doing both swaps at the same time.

Chris
