Back on this project. Sold the 5.3 I had for it. Got a 6.0 and a Whipple Supercharger.

lower50's · 11-07-2016, 09:34 AM

OK Autoparts. I have bought several pullouts from them.

solidaxel · 11-09-2016, 09:16 AM

Test fitting the engine. I may need to add air ride

lower50's · 11-10-2016, 08:58 AM

Do it!!

deejaaa1 · 11-11-2016, 01:24 AM

that thing is looking so good.

crestronwizard · 11-20-2016, 09:39 PM

Stripped down. Heading to HED in Moorisville for a rebuild and upgraded cam.

Had the pleasure of meeting crestonwizard yesterday and looking at his projects. The photos he's posted of the 53 extended cab don't show the detail and workmanship that you see in person. This will be an amazing truck when finished and on the road.

crestronwizard · 11-27-2016, 09:45 PM

Thank you for the kind words. Was great meeting your son and you. Good luck with your project!

The short block is together

lower50's · 12-07-2016, 12:33 AM

I love the look of a fresh block and new parts.

dug224 · 12-07-2016, 07:24 AM

Great project. Great documentation. Keep the photos coming.

Little Valve Job Action

hotrodelrod · 12-08-2016, 02:45 PM

Looking good! Which 6.0 did you start with? I'm in the process of deciding which way to go on mine. Either a pullout LQ4 and rebuild or pullout Camaro SS LS3 drop in and run as is.

Rick

crestronwizard · 12-08-2016, 02:50 PM

I started with a LQ9.
