Re: 86 Silverado Father and Son project

Got them back together.



Also got the old 350 TBI out...




Thanks mcbassin and P-DAWG85 for the help.




Let me just say that I'm not doing the swap because the old 350 was a bad engine, because it was an excellent engine. It was surprisingly reliable with 300k miles on it and a lot more left in it. I'm doing the swap because these newer LQ's are so dang good. I hope to see solid horsepower gains, slightly better fuel economy, more reliability, and just more coolness.

Yeah my Dad said "I just get in there and get it out."



The trans cooling lines were trashed from the wreck. So why not use the lines off of the old 700r4? Luckily the fittings from the 700r4 (left) are completely compatible with the 4l60e (right).



Installed



I also got started on the split looming.

I got it backwards. It is 700r4 on the right, 4l60e on the left.
