I wanted to use the truck and not be afraid of scratchimg a nice paint job, and i wsnted all the trim which i dont have and csnt afford. So I figure over time ill buy trim piece by piece and when i have it i will do a proper paint job.

your truck looks great, but what color did you paint it, it just looks like you have been sanding on it in the pics

Your truck is looking great. I like your idea of the work truck paint job. Yours will sure looks better with time than the primer I put on my 95 Ford Crew cab.

ya I took a few months off from it, then I put on a fitech fuel injection kit on it and drove it for about 3 months. Never really was to happy with it, so I sold the fuel injection to a buddy of mine and sold the big block and the 700r4 about 2 weeks ago.

Today I got the donor truck stripped down and ready to pull the motor and the transmission tomorrow, Also go the dirty dingo motor mounts installed. They are great quality and I would recommended them to anyone, however I was a little disappointed that I had to modify my relatively new ss brakes lines because the mounts don't have a provision to allow them to pass thru.

heres the donor truck I bought for 900.00 bucks





Dirty dingo mounts

weird looking mount/cross member

Is that a LS 5.3 liter motor?

What did you do with the orange paint job, sand it off. or what? ? ?

yes it is a 5.3 ls. I am going to be running the 5.3 with 4l60e out of the donor truck also along with my 208 transfer case, just have to figure out how to make the vss work as it is the transfer case out of the donor truck.

The mount/crossmember is a dirty dingo unit, I went with it because I really liked how the bottom part is removable incase a oil pan is ever needed to be removed while the engine is in the vehicle.

[72MARIO]

following the ls swap

I have a longhorn chassis that's getting converted to 4x4 this winter and was looking at the dirty dingo crossmember as its getting a 6.0/4l80

I used the mounts the dirty dingo mounts in our suburban that got 6.0/4l80. There mounts fit perfectly. LS swap is best thing I ever did to that truck.

Do you plan to flip the tcase to be RH drop and then just modify the oil pick up in the tcase?

No my 208 is out of a 85 k5 blazer so it is a passenger side drop. I just need to figure out how to make it read a vss. From what little research I have done I believe I can take the 241? Apart out of the donor truck and rob the vss and the reluctor out of it and the just drill and tap my tail shaft on my 208.

[70stroker]

Been busy with holidays and house projects but did manage today to get the engine stabbed.

[mud.man.rj]

That's a start, good for you.

[70stroker]

Got the intake bolted on and transmission installed

Also figured out what I am doing for a trans mount (will post pics tomorrow).

Got the exhaust manifolds mounted off of a 98 Pontiac firebird formula. Scored them from my neighbor for 25 bucks.

[70stroker]

got the 5.3 running fighting vss and trans not shifting kinda at my wits end now.


thinking im gonna do a adavance adapters part number 50-0405e, anyone have any experience?


on a side note what photo site are people using now that photobucket did their change????

[70stroker]

Trying to get pics to work, any advice on getting them to rotate?

[mongocanfly]

ive found if they turn out sideways..i rotate them to correct...usually they will be right..if not then i then crop the sides off and they will usually stay right side up

[70stroker]

lets try this
