Just got caught up on the motor swap Rob, everything looks great. I can't wait to see a video of this beast smoking the tires with the blown LS.

Did you get in touch with him? I'm going to plan to swap cam, lifters and springs Sat morning. How early do you want to start?

C10_ustacould · 04-11-2013, 11:39 AM

0900, I will be there!

ed2552 · 04-13-2013, 01:05 AM

Wow, just read all 35 pages of this. Crazy. Exactly what I'd love to find/do to a truck. Your wife sure must be supportive!!! (And your wallet!)

Loving it so far, will be sure to check in in the future. (And I know who to call when I LS swap my green 67!).

NewType72 · 04-13-2013, 03:22 PM

Thanks and welcome aboard!

Some updates: Ernie helped me get my son's PB chassis back together last weekend. This weekend I started breaking down the motor for the L99 to LS3 conversion (cam/valve spring swap and AFM/VVT delete) with the help of another buddy Joe. We got the cam installed and removed the AFM lifters and installed the new LS7 lifters. I also replaced the valley cover with an LS2 style, so all of the AFM stuff is gone! Then we discovered we needed to pull the oil pan in order to install the new chain guide and finish up the cam install. So I decided I would wait on that until I got the new valve springs installed and put the heads back on. I'm waiting on a valve spring tool to finish that up. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.... Any ways, here's a few pictures of the last 2 weekends worth of work.

C10_ustacould · 04-21-2013, 11:00 PM

Nice progress! Baby steps to MONSTER power!!

Sent you an email with info on Power Steering parts, let me know what you want me to get!

, Not sure if it is or if I am.....

. Still making more progress. I got all the new double valve springs installed (hardened seats and titanium keepers - pics) and now I'm working on doing a trunion upgrade to the rocker arm assembly. While researching the LS3, this upgrade was suggested by a lot of people. Apparently the factory bearings can come apart at a high RPM. The kit was around $125, a small price for little piece of mind....

.

**Hart_Rod** · 04-28-2013, 09:16 PM

More pics

Zoomin · 04-28-2013, 09:19 PM

Yeah, that $125 is well spent. Sure is nice working with new parts. Looking good my friend!

Thanks! It's a pretty easy install that only requires a hydraulic press. All in all, it only takes about an hour to complete. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

**Hart_Rod** · 04-28-2013, 09:31 PM

More....

C10_ustacould · 04-28-2013, 09:49 PM

Great progress!

jmedero · 04-28-2013, 10:25 PM

You might as well drop the truck off with Todd and have him repaint it while its down........ You know your going to do it. Might as well. Patina is cool for a cruiser or weekend warrior but you know what your building.......
