Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
I'm going to ruin the hills superslammed inner fenders. I'm just worried that i might cut too much off. I emailed them about sending me a template but haven't heard anything yet.

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
Are you running the hills inners? Did you cut out the inner part of the fender and then just fill in with those pieces? That's a good idea. I kinda remember seeing that in your build thread.
I was looking at how Kyle/Laidback does his.( pic attached) |

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
Yes I cut out the inner fender and added in a piece. Seemed like the cleanest way to do it. I basically copied what N2BILLET did on his truck.

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
Don't know how I keep missing these builds! Truck looks great and look forward to seeing some more progress!

Thank you, glad to have you aboard. I need to order a cam this week. Any suggestions? 5.3 with stock heads. 4l80e, looking for something with lots of torque down low but nothing that will fall on its face in the upper rpms. |

This cam is comparable to an LS6 cam with a little more intake duration. The added duration gives it a better power curve over the LS6 which isn't great down low in our trucks.

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
A lot of good threads on the LS forums on TSP low lift cams with factory converter. Look into Brian Tooley also. Their Stage 1 & 2 truck cams get a lot good feedback.

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
Pretty sure the Texas Speed 220r is a .600 lift cam. In a 5.3L you will definitely notice it at idle and it works pretty well. The only thing is you will sacrifice a little down low with it but make it up on the top end. Are you planning on a converter too?

Maybe the 1 i looked at was a custom grind, not sure. It was a YouTube video lol. Yeah I'll run a stall if needed. I'll pull the ls6 springs and install higher lift springs if needed as well. I want to do it right the first time |

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
Thanks Kyle! I'll be hitting you guys up for carpet and a seat cover before long. Laidback has been my vendor of choice(wheels and accuair e level)! Sarah has had the best prices out of everyone, I highly recommend Laidback Recreations to everyone.
If my truck turns out half as nice as your builds then I'll be happy. ![]() |

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
Got the heads bolted back on and pulled the balancer and oil pump off to get ready for the cam install on Monday. I set the intake manifold on just to see how it looks.
Sorry for the rotated pics. I try fixing them on my phone but once i upload them they rotate sideways. |

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
No idea where I've been lately, but I totally missed this build. Your truck is looking good so far!

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
Thank you! I'm going to try to have it drivable by fall but it's going to be a big task.
