I use Neal's there in Peoria. Maybe I'll see you at some local events?

benscool1 · 03-21-2015, 08:00 PM

I checked with them when I first started researching an LS swap, they seemed pretty reasonable for a complete lift out. Glad they seem to have treated you right. Maybe, I didn't realize there were many events around Peoria? I've got a lot of friends who keep telling me how simple the swap is but none have ever actually done it. It'd be nice to talk to somebody who has actual experience with an LS swap in our trucks.

bowtieguy79 · 03-21-2015, 09:33 PM

Be glad to meet up and discuss

bowtieguy79 · 03-26-2015, 07:57 AM

Picked up the 6.0L yesterday.

Just had our third baby last Friday. May be a couple weeks before I get it ready to install. Cam and springs and lots of cleaning!

benscool1 · 03-26-2015, 08:01 AM

Congrats on the new toy and the new baby!

**Advanced Design** · 03-26-2015, 08:38 AM

Congratulations on the new baby! The 6.0 will be nice.

bowtieguy79 · 03-26-2015, 09:30 AM

Thanks guys!

bowtieguy79 · 03-26-2015, 06:20 PM

My sis in law and her kids dropped by this afternoon, gave me a couple of hours in the garage

bowtieguy79 · 03-28-2015, 05:35 PM

FedEx guy was at the house today. Vintage air and some new center caps....

**Advanced Design** · 03-28-2015, 05:49 PM

I really like those center caps!

Did some more prep work, put down a little orange to see how it's going to look, I'm digging it!

bowtieguy79 · 04-03-2015, 08:20 PM

Oh that's so much better, more detailing to come

**Advanced Design** · 04-03-2015, 09:25 PM

Yes, nice difference. Looks good!

bowtieguy79 · 04-04-2015, 10:48 PM

Cam and springs installed, then moved on to more engine bay detailing and vintage air install

**Advanced Design** · 04-05-2015, 10:57 AM

Which Vintage Air system? Looks like a sure fit with the plates?

bowtieguy79 · 04-05-2015, 09:05 PM

Ya, used the sure fit evap kit, condenser kit, and line kit separate since I am using the LS engine. I have a sanden 508 and holley LS ac brackets

bowtieguy79 · 04-16-2015, 12:26 AM

Got a new toy for the shop.... Just need to now make the shed a shop instead of a storage unit!

It's a 9k lb atlas from Greg Smith equipment. Just finished putting it together tonight.

whitels1 · 04-16-2015, 12:37 AM

Lookin great man, that 6.0 will be right at home in there

**Advanced Design** · 04-16-2015, 07:39 AM

Congratulations on the lift! Very handy.

bowtieguy79 · 04-16-2015, 03:39 PM

Thanks guys! I snapped a better pic this morning in the day light. I plan to get the Sub on here next weekend and work on fitting the 80E and fuel system up.

bowtieguy79 · 04-16-2015, 09:26 PM

Changed oil in the 79 and my 94 tonight.... Oh the lift was a good addition!

**Advanced Design** · 04-17-2015, 01:22 AM

Nice trucks! A lift is really handy. The only regret with mine is I didn't get it 10 years sooner.

bowtieguy79 · 04-22-2015, 08:52 AM

Had some time yesterday and got the LQ9 ready to drop in for the most part.
