Re: L83 swap 72 C10

Talked to wayne yesterday. really nice guy. More than likely ill go with his setup. no point on moving water pump and alternator if there's no need to. Its affordable and seeing it on your truck (brian, (cornerstone) ) i really liked it. Brian, what headers did you use, where did you tap into to get ur vacuum for your brakes oh and what radiator and how did you handle he steam vent. I feel like im cheating, your doing all the research and development (lol) and im just copying.

I used speed engineering headers from thier eBay store, and only $300 bucks delivered I think. I still haven’t addressed my brake vacuum needs yet. In regards to the radiator, I’m hoping to use the 2014 Silverado radiator and dual fans that were in the same truck that the engine and transmission came from. It looks about 6 inches wider so I don’t know how that will turn out... I was always taught to work smarter not harder, so take all the best ideas you can find and run with it. I think it’s safe to say nothing on my truck is an original idea from me, but I still love it and can be proud of it.
