The 6.0 Silverado Build - Page 9 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

STOCKISH · 03-21-2010, 09:51 PM

Passenger side hits the frame a little (could trim the frame slightly and be fine) and the drivers side points right at the lower section of the inside of the frame. I heard the 5.3 ones work but I dont know if the 6.0 manifolds point out away from the trans a little more to clear the 4l80e trans? Either way, I have spent way too much time and effort making this look nice to use my manifolds. If they looked like new and fit better I would absolutely use them but since they arent in very good shape anyway, I will just try to save up and get some headers. Glock35ipsc used the 5.3 manifolds on his and they look awesome. But, if we are using his swap as a guide my whole job so far looks sub-par. His turned out sick!!!

bigdnew · 03-21-2010, 10:10 PM

I to am studying his build. My plan was to send my manifolds out for jet coat because they worked for him. However, I did not figure the difference in fit between the 5.3 and our 6.0s

D.FENS · 03-21-2010, 10:20 PM

I read on one of the other forums (can't remember which one) that Chevy Performance makes an LSX header flange that fits BBC headers. The idea being you take a set of BBC C-10 headers (like maybe the $89.95 Summit cheapies), cut the flange off and have the LSX flange welded on.

http://www.yearone.com/serverfiles/f...9&cat=9&trk=22

The flanges are cheap enough, but does the LSx have the same exhaust port spacing as a big block?

STOCKISH · 03-21-2010, 10:55 PM

Mine may be different because my engine is from a van as well. I am not sure . The 5.3 manifolds will fit the 6.0 engine.

menace121978 · 03-22-2010, 08:05 AM

Josh, i think your are different because they came from a van. i have the stock manifolds and they fit fine. the driverside fits like a glove and the pass. side needs a little triming on the frame rail. i'd make a few calls to yards and see how much a set of stock manifolds WITHOUT the EGR tube is. i'd give you my set man but i really think shipping would be ridiculous. my s&p's should be here today so we'll see how those fit.

STOCKISH · 03-22-2010, 08:24 AM

As much as I dont want to spend the money, I think I just need to buy the headers. They'll fit good, and look great. As well as flow better.

Driveway Dreams · 03-23-2010, 11:16 PM

Do you need a little encouragement?
BUY
THEM!!

JohnC · 03-24-2010, 09:11 AM

Very subtle Gerald.

STOCKISH · 03-24-2010, 12:11 PM

PayPal me the money and I'll get them ordered right up buddy!

Driveway Dreams · 03-25-2010, 12:00 AM

STOCKISH · 03-25-2010, 10:29 AM

Picked up a set of manifolds from a 6.0 truck and they fit fine. Guess I'll be using those for now.

menace121978 · 03-25-2010, 10:33 AM

sweet! what is left?

Jonboy · 03-25-2010, 10:37 AM

Sounds like it's about time for some tire burning goodness!!

bigdnew · 03-25-2010, 10:38 AM

happy to hear the stock truck manifolds will work, gives me hope.

Wrap the harness once the harness wrap shows up, and fuel system, driveshaft and get exhaust hooked back up.

Yo Josh! It was good chatting with you on the phone!

I found the diagrams on my Photobucket account. Right click, "view image", then print them out. You can probably see them better that way. It might help also to take a pen or pencil and trace over the numbers and stuff to make them clearer, as they aren't very sharp.

STOCKISH · 03-25-2010, 04:36 PM

Thanks buddy! I appreciate it. Was good to talk to you as well. You too Dennis, thanks again for the help today. Man I love this forum.

glock35ipsc · 03-25-2010, 04:58 PM

Shoot me an email at glock35ipsc AT aim.com and I will email you an Excel spreadsheet I did of the cluster wiring between the 85 cluster and the 91 cluster.

menace121978 · 03-25-2010, 06:30 PM

Do they look like this? This is my P/S manifold, I had to cut this much off to clear the engine mount stand that mounts to the frame. Kept cutting until I found a hollow spot that is there for the egr I guess. I will have it welded this weekend but it clears now

Anyway keep things going looks good.

jeez... can someone PLEASE put this in english

STOCKISH · 03-25-2010, 08:58 PM

Thats what I was thinking. It's not bad once you really look at it and see whats going on. My manifolds didnt have provisions for EGR or AIR

Driveway Dreams · 03-25-2010, 10:48 PM

Glad to hear you got the manifolds & they fit. That is awesome! Although this discussion made me feel left out. I didn't talk to you today.

STOCKISH · 03-26-2010, 07:47 AM

PM me your number, hell, I'll call you too!
