Hello everyone,
well I’ll start off by introducing myself. My name is Raul and I live in San Antonio Texas area. I have a 1998 Silverado rcsb that I purchased in October of 2018. I have been a part of this forum for a while just never posted. When I bought the truck it was pretty straight but had a blown 5.0 in it. I purchased a lm7 (5.3) along with transmission that came out of an 05 suburban. I began to work on it slowly and began the swap. This was my first time tackling a swap like this. My goal was to have a truck that looked factory was fun and reliable. I did all the work myself with the help of a buddy. I would like to give credit to Brendan from LT1SWAP.COM. His website proved to be an invaluable resource. The engine was put in the truck with no modification and I added a lextech ac bracket to retain my factory a/c. For the fuel system I went with the corvette filter. I also went with an aluminum driveshaft while I was at it. I currently have about 1k miles on the truck and still have some looming to do on the wiring. Truck runs great but would like to address the suspension that makes the truck feel like it’s 50 years old. I have added a few pictures of the truck although the wiring in the engine bay now looks much better.
