Gen III 6.0L engine or at least a block.

**68jewel** · 01-18-2012, 09:45 PM

Oh, I kinda figured it was some sort of GM equipment from a serial number. But, just too darn lazy to look it up. LOL!!

**Bowtie468** · 01-18-2012, 10:10 PM

6.0 ls engine

mcbassin · 01-19-2012, 08:31 AM

Super score on the LS engine. Hope you didn't beat up your knuckles too bad getting it out

Looking forward to this install.

72BlckButy · 01-19-2012, 08:46 AM

Can't wait to watch the new heart get installed.

Hopefully there will be a detailed installation in this build thread... (hint, hint)

Not too bad- it actually came out pretty easily- saved a few bucks pulling it myself, too

Will do. Gonna try to do it 'on a budget', without making it look like it. I'll keep you guys updated as it progresses...

Now that I can't wait for. I wanna do an LS swap in my truck really bad. But all the aftermarket "swap" parts run a little more then I like to spend. IE, harness, headers, ect. But then again, I'm a tight ***

The plan is to keep it cheap- most items can be done DIY to save money. It's been proven you can spend a bunch of cash on one of these swaps; I'd like to see how little I can spend and still have a nice setup...

Looking forward to a well documented with lots of pics....hint....cheap install.

What's the tranny plan? did you buy that with the motor too?

Bennett68C10 · 01-20-2012, 09:06 AM

Nice looking motor, I wanted to do an LS Swap too but the cost of it and the lack of knowledge on my part I decided to go Big Block. Can't wait to see how it turns out for you.

thor · 01-20-2012, 01:41 PM

6.0L!!! Sweet!!!

Midniteotto · 01-20-2012, 09:53 PM

Subscribed, It took me almost a month to find this thread again....Love your truck and enjoyed the build to this point...

Thanks! More to come- they're never finished

72BlckButy · 01-20-2012, 10:52 PM

The bulb does have a little buggy appeal but overall looks/fits well.

I'm curious to see the light quality once it's been hooked up.

I have a feeling an LS project will be in my future and not on my '69.

Can't wait to watch yours come together.

jasonhall · 01-20-2012, 11:17 PM

I like it! Cant wait for more

KRUSTY 51 · 01-21-2012, 12:12 AM

I have just spent the last 2 hours reading this build, and I can say very cool the way you were able to build and keep it from being in a million pieces.

wait..."not on my 69"..do you have another project you arent telling us about ?????

mcbassin · 01-21-2012, 02:27 AM

Man, it sounds like you got a real deal on the engine. What's the story on the lights? Are they really bright? Are you gonna run them through a relay? Bug-eyed that's an interesting description. Looking straight on they look pretty normal. from the side they do stick out a little more than usual but not too much to bother me. I like the idea and I bet they are way bright than the old school ones.
I may steal the idea too when I get that far along.
