Re: 81 K5 "Arctic Blaze" H.O. 5.3 / SM465 swap
So all you had to do was remove some material from the water pump? Are there any other modification?

I also had to trim the truck bracket, and relocate the idler pulley to clear the car intake. I used the dirty dingo kit.

Re: 81 K5 "Arctic Blaze" H.O. 5.3 / SM465 swap
Nice thread you have some really great pictures. I have been thinking about swapping my blown big block in my 84 4x4 one ton for a 5.3 or 6.0. It is nice to see the mounting with the trans since mine is a 465. I have a 5.3 4L60e but is is slated for my 62 2wd. So I might just have to get a 6.0 that a friend of mine has.

Re: 81 K5 "Arctic Blaze" H.O. 5.3 / SM465 swap
How did the vss situation go? Was you able to tune it out? Im fixing to do a swap very similar to yours except its a 465/208 combo. An im having trouble finding out if a vss is a must. I know dakota digital makes a adapter but if i can save some cash itd be nice. Thanks.

Re: 81 K5 "Arctic Blaze" H.O. 5.3 / SM465 swap
Great build, did I miss it or did you ever hook up the EVAP system?

Re: 81 K5 "Arctic Blaze" H.O. 5.3 / SM465 swap
I did the same as a 99 fbody, evap canister, vent valve and purge solenoid, seems to be working good.

Re: 81 K5 "Arctic Blaze" H.O. 5.3 / SM465 swap
So the tank would vent properly and not stink up my garage.

Re: 81 K5 "Arctic Blaze" H.O. 5.3 / SM465 swap
Is there some more info on the evap system? I modified my tank for the same type of module, and I'm not sure what to do with that part.

I have mine set up like a 99 f-body. You need to have an evap tank, vent valve and purge solenoid.
