Budget Square Body Build with Gen IV LS power

[vannatta20]

I did a thread years ago on a budget build ls swap for the 67-72 trucks http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=517347

Now its time to put into action everything I have learned over the years.

My dad found this truck for cheap on his way to the lake. It has a SBC and turbo 350 with A/C. Everything is worn out and he wants to daily driver. I now prefer the Gen IV drivetrains due to the much better 6 speed transmission. These have a 4.1 first gear instead of the 3.1 in the 4l60E. They handle good power and will shift up to .300 of a second. We acquired a 2012 5.3 LMG engine and 6L80E 2wd transmission. I have done a handful of gen iv swaps on muscle cars and early trucks. The power is incredible and the ability to roast the tires at will is awesome with stock un-modified engines. This truck will even have cruise control, tap shift, and a/c control all through the Gen iv computer.
