What exactly do you need the spacers for? Not enough back spacing or are they a different bolt pattern?

More details on the 8.1L conversion? Still have the EFI?

Ah yeah, definitely kept the EFI. I did the 8.1L install in 2008 and have about 25,000 miles on it since then. Pictures here. I’m collecting parts now to do an 8.1L swap in my Suburban too.

Awesome. I'm considering doing an 8.1L/Allison in my K2500. I can't really justify a Cummins or DMAX swap (only tow with it once/twice a year and have a 6.7L Power Stroke Ford available to me at anytime I need it), and everyone that I know with an 8.1L truck has been very happy with towing ability. My truck is currently a 4L80e and want to keep the automatic in it (so wife can still drive it - it is a 'spare' vehicle in our household).

Do you have a thread somewhere about the swap or just pictures?

Temple those wheels take a shank lug nut! And I would think that the shanks will work with a spacer. Good luck live the wheels BTW

I don’t really have a build thread as the truck has been an ongoing project for the past 18 years. There are a few project threads on it though.

Here is an old thread right after I did the swap.

Another when I changed the ECM and wiring harness (the first year I ran it on a Ramjet/Marine MEFI-4 ECM then changed it to a production vehicle P57 ECM with MAF. The only thing I’ve done since then is redo the air induction pipe.
