Re: The Blue Magoo, bye bye straight 6
Using ECE Mounts to clear the AC
 Trim the 4L80 to clear exhaust off the F-Body manifolds  Mod the ECE crossmember because of the 4L80  Cheapo Jeep tank with Filler added to the top  Modified 87 Suburban Sending unit with 01 Silverado Fuel Pump  Plasma cut some exhaust manifold flanges  Made a gas pedal Adapter plate  PCM Location using stock Silverado Mount  Repaired my Inner Fender... They should really make this a patch panel  Using car water pump with spacers in case I ever decide to use a car intake and it gave me a steam vent port in the spacer in the process.  Dual Black Widows  Truck Oil pan..... Needs to be addressed  Used a billet Roll bar mount to hold my filter  Getting closer

Re: The Blue Magoo, bye bye straight 6
Very cool. Those new LS motors are the cats azz.
I'll have to remember that little trick with the steam port. I just drilled an 1/8" hole and threaded it, inserted a pipe to barb fitting, and jambed the hose on.

Re: The Blue Magoo, bye bye straight 6
Looks great! I love the mirrors on that truck, you don't see them very often on the SB's. How do you like the swap? I'm thinking of ditching my 6 somewhere down the road but I will be having a shop do it, just a bit beyond my abilities.

Re: The Blue Magoo, bye bye straight 6
Thanks guys. The mirrors are either love em or hate em. They were in the bed of the truck when I bought it so I put them back on, now it wouldn't be right without them. Kinda like the c-channel rear bumper.
 The ls swap is a no brainer to me. Too many positives not to do it. I've got 2 more setups waiting on new projects. One is a 5.3/4l60 and one is a magnacharged 6.0/4l80. I'm sold on it.
