    Exhaust for obs LS swap?

    I have $150 in the entire exhaust. The cheapest quote I got for a full exhaust was $350, and that wasn't me buying the catalytic converters. No inspection in Alabama, so I just did it in my driveway.

    LS swap on the track

    I recently had a chance to run my truck, on an eighth mile strip. It was a flag start, so no time slips. Also my first time on a drag strip. My GPS speedometer showed 79 at the top end. I guess that's ok. I had a lot of fun. Truk is running a stock 5.3, 4L60, and 342 gears. At the time I was...

    Exhaust for obs LS swap?

    I have a stock 5.3, with stock manifolds. I used about 4" of the OE exhaust off the manifold, for the flanges and O2 bungs. The rest is 2.5 pipe, curved pieces from the scrap bin at an exhaust shop, off a 2010 Camaro. The straight sections are from the parts store. Two Dynomax race bullets.

    Thanks. I get that a lot. I never set out to build a sleeper. I just don't like a lot of badges. I've been through Louisiana once, it's pretty down there as well.

    Lost 3rd and 4th in the 4L60. Everyone has suggested a 80, however for my goals it's not needed. I have a friend helping me with the trans work.

    Shackle flip using stock hanger

    I have a lowered 88 C1500. Currently I have dropped hangers, and shackles to lower the rear 4". I want a 6" drop with an axle flip. If I flip the axle with the dropped hangers, I'd be at a 8" drop, not what I want. I do not want to spend the money on new hangers, or remove stock ones off a junk...

    4/6 lower need to back up axle?

    Setting the axle back an inch is also keeps the driveshaft from bottoming out in the trans.

    88 to 94 grill swap one high beam

    I hit a deer in my 88, and got my donor parts off a 94 Suburban. I went from 4 sealed beam lights, to composite lights. When I pulled the clip off the Sub, I got the head light harness as well. It plugged into the firewall plug, and all the lights, except the driver's side high beam work. As far...

    91 c1500 Going 2" Lower Up Front

    I did a 6" front drop, with 2" spindles and 2" springs. I cut a coil from the springs, probably not the best method but it rode ok. If I were to do it again, I'd use bolt in coilovers. Or, you could go crazy and z the frame 2".

    95 LS swap questions

    In my opinion before pulling the 350, mark all your wires. You will reuse the temp sender and oil sender for the gauges. Also need the wire down to the starter. My harness is a modified stock LS harness, and it is stand alone. I'm still figuring out how to get my speedometer to work. I may end...

    88 SportsideLS swap daily driver

    Up to date. I hit a deer. Snagged a complete front clip off a 94 Suburban 4wd. Also go the tow hooks, which are a bolt on to a 2wd frame, if someone wants tow hooks.

    Fuel lines. Thousands of way to do this. I wanted to use my OE fuel lines, with adapters. First attempt was a fuel line repair kit and nylon hose. Current set up is A/N fittings making an adapter from the OE stainless hose to the LS fuel rail. Part numbers are Russell...

    88 SportsideLS swap daily driver

    Drop. Started off 2" springs. They are used off Craigslist. Settled to more than 2". Eventually I added 2" drop shackles in the rear. While doing the swap, I added the hangers. Swapped my stock hangers for the dropped hangers, and helped a friend do a axle flip on his truck. I made a bracket to...

    Some time between the initial purchase and LS, I had to repair the driver's door striker. I have new hinges yet to be installed.

    88 SportsideLS swap daily driver

    Exhaust. For 3 months I drove with the Avi's cats. Nothing else. It was loud. Using the head pipe off the Avi, and cut offs from a 2010 Camaro, I built the exhaust. Mufflers are Dynomax Race Bullets. It drones at 55. I want to change my muffler. Add $75 for v-band clamps.

    88 SportsideLS swap daily driver

    A broken trans started the LS swap. Looking for a trans, a friend told me we could LS swap for what a trans would cost. I want to state up front. This is the method I chose. It isn't right or wrong. It works. For me. I will answer any question in PM. As the title states, this is a budget...
