Hey Guys, I almost 95% done with the swap. The only thing left to do is install a thermostatic cooling fan controller, play with the timing to see what she likes, install one size shorter belt and just basiclly look everything over. I had the exhaust installed wednsday, I sounds wicked. I took these photos with my cell phone so forgive the quailty. Hopefully I can detail the car completely one night this week and do a real photoshoot with a real camera. I will try to post those pics with a write up by the end of the week. I drove the car yesterday and forgot how much power this car had. The Kelly Chargers mounted on those chrome iroc rims won't last long.

Top and bottom hose are from a 03 2500 chevy truck with 6.0. I think the 5.3 trucks run the same hoses.

I'm using the Offroad Pacesetter Headers for a late model Camaro. Since I wanted to keep the AC Box, and keep my trans in the stock location, I used the Transdapt 7592 plates, using factory clamshell mounts. By doing this I alo had to move my frame mounting pads to V6 location.

Looks real good. I have been poking around about putting an LS in something cool. What motor is it? I was kinda looking around for something like an LQ4.

The motor is a stock bottom end LQ4. I have a video posted in the maliburacing gallery

I decided to go with the 6.0 first, maybe next year I can step up to a 400+ LS combo.
