Re: 79 GMC Sierra LWB 6.0L swap

Small update with a few pics. Motor is back together. got the gas pedal and TAC module. Motor mount plates are ordered, got the Harness and ECM boxed ready to ship to Wait4Me Performance . Will start pulling old engine in the next few days. Slow but any progress is a good thing!

Looking good! Looks like my customer is running into a few delays, but hopefully it won't be too much longer. I'm really looking forward to doing one of these swaps for myself!

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.

Yea! I am working a little on the truck and a lot on my patience While I had it apart I put a set of Z06 Valve springs with titanium retainers and keepers with new valve seals and a set of Comp Cams .080 wall push rods. I did this now because when I get it in and running I may want to put a set of 1.8 roller tip rockers on it too help with the low end torque.

Doubt if you'll need to improve the low end torque of a 6.0
