Re: 83 Chevy Shotbed Silverado 4x4 6.0 swap

What headers did you use? It doesn't look like you had to mess with clearance at all, so I am curious which ones you selected. The closest I've seen are the 2010 -2013 F-body headers.

What transfer case did you use? How did you hook up your speedometer? Did you use the factory sending unit for TBI setup? What are you doing about the voltage, oil pressure, and temp gauges?

Thanks....Enjoy that power!!

Re: 83 Chevy Shotbed Silverado 4x4 6.0 swap

I used the schoenfeld headers for a 88 up, under 300 shipped, they were close to the trans on right side but not to bad, I was working with them on a 4 wheel drive set but they decided these were good. As far as gauges go I used the stock 90-91 burban gauges and t-case. For temp gauge I used the stock sender for a ls1 trans am as they have a 3 wire set up and work with my stock temp gauge. Then used a factory sender for oil pressure in the back of block with an adapter. U can put it in the oil cooler block off plate too which I suggest because of firewall. Everything works perfectly. I'm not a fan of gauges hanging off the dash. Hope this helps and yes it has more power than it needs that's for sure!
