Re: Getting Started
Here are a few pictures of where I am at. Pulled the LS1 and basically recouped my money. Ordered a brand new LS376 / 480 last week. Hopefully it'll be here for christmas if I'm lucky. Still got a lot of work to do, but at least it looks like a truck again.

Re: Getting Started
Thanks, hopefully it'll run strong. I figure with 480 HP and being quite lite it will. Might have to hang some lead off the back bumper!

Re: Getting Started
That's gonna be a sick ride. What are your plans for tail lights? My truck also has a shaved rear end with inset bullet style tail lights. It was done by the previous owner, and I'm not a huge fan of them and want to find something different.
I'll definately watch this build with interest as I just commited to a GMPP LS3/480hp as well today.

Re: Getting Started
Need to pick up a few more bolts for connecting the converter to the flex plate. Does any recommend using lock washers, or just loctite? Also, any suggestions for converter fluid? Thanks

Re: Getting Started
Motor fits very well. Installed converter then dropped in the motor. Once all the bolts were nice and snug I went to go bolt up the converter to the flex plate. When I checked it out it had perfect clearance, about a 1/16". Hopefully I can get some headers picked out soon. I will be ordering the Concept One accessory set, and a computer from Speartech very soon.
Any word on the Doug Thorley "big tube" headers. From what I've read I should try to run at least a 1 & 5/8" header.

Re: Getting Started
Dudee... SICK truck! I like everything you've done so far. What are you gonna do for brakes and booster? That firewall looks too clean to mount anything on!

Re: Getting Started
Skoffice - I'm running an under dash set-up, purchased from Scott's Hotrods. It's a really solid piece and I highly recommend.
I am about to start ordering brake components and was hoping for a little input as to proportioning valve, fittings, etc. I have a 7" booster and CPP master cylinder under the dash, break like bulkhead with -3 inlets, wilwood calipers in rear that have 1/8"-27 NPT inlets, and will be ordering wilwood D52's for up front. I would like to run all hard lines with four braided houses at each corner. Is Stainless pliable? What fitting and flares? Anyone have any suggestions from experience? Thanks!
