68 shortbed 5.3 4l60e DBW swap :)
Yessir.. I'm starting this thread to help.. (Show off my work) lol I have a 68 Chevy c10, putting an 04 5.3L 4l60e in it... I had a 350/350 turbo.. I have done lots of research before the build... I got motor/trans PCM harness tac gas pedal for 1300$ motor had 62,000 miles on it... I live in Dallas Texas... These motors are very easy to find... I got a custom grind to cam.. Got some springs and lifters ... Professional valve job... Got the harness modified locally.. Can hook u up w number if interested.. Got PCM flashed from ol boy from lt1tech , quick turnaround.. Real good guys..

Pix coming soon I dropped motor and trans in today and it fits perfect. 5.3 manifolds didn't fit, I'm using dirty dingos and the pedestals that came with the truck when I got it.. Had 350/350... So gonna try the tbss manifolds? What year guys?? Driveshaft fit... Awesome!! Mounting fuel system tomorrow.. Got the vetted filter and a external fuel pump... Have a 18gal tank under bed ( came with truck) for now at least...

So the stock driveshaft length fit just fine in the 4l60??

Any chance of getting a picture of the driveshaft in the trans?

Are you running the 350 trans ?
what cam and springs are you using ?
truck looks clean
I had major issues with manifold/headers using cpp's pedestal mounts had to modify a set of pacesetter headers to work , did not want to fork out the coin for dougs headers
