I've been finishing up this truck slowly. Buttoning up stuff and putting all the little things on. Here are a few engine bay shots. Also, I want to make 2 containers or trays for the fuse block that I built and for the computer sitting on the inner fender. Do you guys suggest anything I could use or build to put these things in/on? Thanks Y5, I'll check out your recommendation as well.

Re: Moby: My Chevy 4x4 ls swap
Unfortunately I'm far from done, my friend.
I decided to take the truck in a different direction. I'm not completely done working out the bugs of the motor swap yet, but I'm starting something new on this truck while I finish all the little things. Any guesses what I'm doing? |

Re: Moby: My Chevy 4x4 ls swap
What are you using for the wire harness to start the engine, after market or did you do it your self

Re: Moby: My Chevy 4x4 ls swap
Stock, re-worked harness. I spliced it into the truck and made the fuse block myself. I sent the computer to Brendan at lt1swap.com to turn off emission stuff, adjust fan settings and turn off the electronic transmission to turn it into a standalone harness for the engine. I kept the transmission connectors on the harness though because I plan on putting in an overdrive in the future. I've been thinking about buying an aftermarket harness. But I haven't justified the prices they're going for yet.

Re: Moby: My Chevy 4x4 ls swap
Installed a 6 inch Super lift on the front. Also coated the front axle in por15.
Check out the difference in arch between the stock spring and the 6" Super lift spring. I'm in need of oversized mud terrains now.. |

Re: Moby: My Chevy 4x4 ls swap
Looks good with that lift! You should do it up Cali style with some 15x12 and some 33s with that lift..

Re: Moby: My Chevy 4x4 ls swap
I got the bed back on and put all the new shocks on except for one in the rear because the mount to the frame broke! Does anyone know where I can get a new shock mount? Autozone/O'Reilly both failed me. Figures.
Anyway, now that this lift is on, I need help picking out wheels and tires! Here's a few examples chrome or black?? |

Re: Moby: My Chevy 4x4 ls swap
They were the easiest images to photoshop haha. I probably won't go with this specific wheel, just having some fun!
Looks good though |

Re: Moby: My Chevy 4x4 ls swap
I drove Moby around last night and that 5.3 sure is peppy! Just like I remember it. Still have to work out a few bugs and wire a few more things up. And the truck wanders pretty bad on the road. Also needs an alignment because my steering wheel is upside down, my right turns are wide and it will turn left on a dime. I put the wheels off Bear on Moby just for fun to see what it would look like.

Re: Moby: My Chevy 4x4 ls swap
Nice truck!!! Love the 5.3 swap.
One question. Your black trim along the lower sides of the truck, is that stock? I'm trying to find an alternative to that stick on chrome LMC stuff, and I haven't seen straight black before. |

Re: Moby: My Chevy 4x4 ls swap
Went to oreilly for some brake pads, came out and truck wont start. No fuel pressure because the fuel pump sending unit fried (bad wiring, 20 year old sending unit). O'Reilly ordered a new one for me which took a day, so the truck spent the night there. I opted to pull the bed back instead of dropping the tank. Funny story, crap weekend.
Had to cheer myself up. New wheels and 35 x 12.5 inch tires. Can't go wrong with bfg all terrains.
