I'm guessing your wife named this truck. Sub'd.

Re: Jolene - '86 SWB budget 5.3l 4l60e driver build
Finally finished working on other people's junk, and got around to working on mine. Almost ready to drop the engine in the truck. Here are some pictures of my progress. Rebuilt the heads. Put them back on with MLS head gaskets. New Melling oil pump and GM timing chain to spin the LS1 cam. Installed the Comp Cams trunion kit and buttoned the top end back up. Painted and loosely bolted the dirty dingo mounts on to the block. May try to drop it in tomorrow.
Stay tuned. Mike

Re: Jolene - '86 SWB budget 5.3l 4l60e driver build
Well, I decided to mock up my A/C bracket and fabricate the supports for it rather than dropping it in the truck today. I used an A/C bracket from a 4.3 S10 and made some modifications to it. Got the idea from another thread somewhere, but can't remember where. Anyway, here are some pictures. I'll be able to run an R4 compressor now and use a K5/Suburban hoses. The manifold in the pic is a 2011 camaro take-off that I think I'm going to run.

A/C setup cleaned and painted. Very pleased with the way it turned out. The money saved from buying brackets bought me a new compressor!
