Got the LS all torn down. Was going to order a big cam (Truck Norris) and valve springs but got sandblaster/blast cabnit instead. I already have a powdercoat system so no I can clean and powder coat my truck parts.
Found my starting motor. $360 including a $75 core and tax. Going to start the tear down. First couple motors had holes in them. This one turned over like it should and there are no holes in it.
collecting more parts. I traded some parts from one of my old cars for this rear end. It's a Ford 9" with some stopping power. I'm a Subaru guy and my grandpa loved modified cars so I have no problem sticking a Ford rear under my GM.
Next I'm going to pick up the engine for the LS swap on Thursday.
Kept trying to decide if I wanted to build the 350 that's in my truck or LS swap it. Spent too much to change my mind now. Found a complete running tahoe I can trade the engine out of my truck for the complete swap
I wouldn't have thought it would be. My assumption was that it would be more like an 80/90 gear oil with that name. I'm new to GM stuff and automatic transmissions. This truck being the first one I've had. I've always built subaru's with manuals. I work at orilley's selling and delivery parts...
That number pulls up as Delco gear oil
Oriellys offers multiple versions of dex III. House brand is called premium atf. I only mention oreillys because i work there and i can easily check.
I just went and looked and it is a 10 bolt. Is the 14 bolt something I can buy and bolt in or is there another rear end I can put in? My ultimate goal is an lq4 swap after I finish all the important stuff first.
