LS7 is in, hopefully done soon...

Got the engine and transmission back in the truck, got the 1-7/8 Kooks headers fitted in (what a PITA).
Just need to get some pieces welded up to mount the oil tank, run the oil lines, get the exhaust done, finish wiring, route the intake tubing, and figure out the cooling lines.
Then off to the dyno.

Not really. Just pulling out a 5.3 and dropping in the 7.0
Same size dimensionally.

LuLz. I love the people that think the engines physically bigger just because of the different looking intake and/or different name.

Well as said in another thread, not going into debt over a truck.

Mines paid off and I have the motor and most of the parts in the garage. But ran out of money. I need to save some more green stuff for the swap, but probley going back to Iraq. So I will have the money then.
