Re: LS Engine bay pics
Still working on it but it's almost done. Stock 6.0 with custom engine cover. Designed by me but a local fab shop is doing the work. I'm not a metal fab guy and I can't weld aluiminum.

Re: LS Engine bay pics
Its a weird feeling seeing your thread come up when you just came on to check on other peoples threads. Lol and they are great pictures! Lotta good ideas here. I think ima bite the bullet and pull trigger on an ls swap....the drivability, reliability, increased mpg and ability to gain power are the main selling points..now the question is, turbo 5.3 or n/a (for now) 6.0.....

Re: LS Engine bay pics
Local friends, all with Vortec 5.3s in their trucks, 6 of them. Mine was out with the old 350, in with the new 5.3, and we like them a lot!
