Re: 2018 LT5.3 into 66 PU
Those heat shrink hose clamps really have a clean look and work great. They are single use though.

Re: 2018 LT5.3 into 66 PU
Looks Great!
I miss my '65 short bed but I sure don't miss the 350 it had in it. You are going to love that LS set up. I just finished my '51 five window with an LS and it is so much smoother to drive! I know some guys here hate on the LS stuff. The small block chevy will go down in history as one of the greatest V-8's of all time but you can not beat the driveability of a late model LS engine!

Re: 2018 LT5.3 into 66 PU
Hi, looking great! Is your MAF sensor the blade style? if so, what intake tube are you using?

Re: 2018 LT5.3 into 66 PU
Spent some time finishing the ac installation.
Also finished wiring the Dakota Digital gauges. I highly recommend these gauges. They can be controlled With a alp on my cell.
