Re: 5.3 swap build so far
Got my trans back in, had to make the 5 hour trip to Charlotte, 60-65 is the sweet spot for mpg's got almost 19 hwy...70-75 15 mpg, either way both respectable numbers for the old girl...like I told the wife, it's better than the 8 or 9 I was getting

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
Just read through this whole thread today. Great job on your build so far. I'll be starting a similar project swapping a 5.3/4l80e in to my '89 K5 in a couple of months and will definitely be referring to your thread for ideas. Keep up the good work
ps. I was a 'Tracker back in '02-'06 at Pendleton. Nice to see a few of us jar heads around the forum |

Im new to this site and joined because I'm getting ready to do a swap in my 69 c10. I was wondering who did your wiring harness and how much it cost? This site has got me even more excited!! Thanks Zach

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
i had a guy somewhat near me do my harness, he didnt charge me a whole lot to do my harness, it was pretty cheap actually, i can't remember exactly what it was to be honest, i was really happy with it, I'm gonna have him do my next one when i start it which I'm hoping will be soon

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
well I'm only 5 foot 6, i used part of the original seat bracket, for the forward and backward, i made a frame out of some 1/4 inch steel and hacked off the forward and backward section on the new seats to drop them down a couple inches, the up and down motors still work along with the lumbar, i know a guy that stands almost six foot fits in there pretty good, the only thing i dont like is my steering wheel is stock, so its pretty big i dont get to pull it down like i like to but its not even a problem, and comfortable anyways, eventually going to swap out the wheel and column for aftermarket

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
Pics helped. I ran into a set of those seats for cheap and passed them up b/c every one was like got to chop floor pans and move gas tanks. So I passed on them and started looking for another type of seats. The search is back on!!

Can you put some pics of just how it looks in there from different angles? Not like how you mounted it just like more pics of how they sit in there, how far forward, distance to steering wheel... et cetera. |
