IIRC, He had them custom done by someone and they weren't cheap. I think he said on here they were north of 700 a piece.
If you have 2 stock 5.3 manifolds, they will work on a 6.0

since photobucket is still F'd, ive mostly switched to youtube, but ive gotten the driveshaft shortened and installed, majority of the hoses and wires built, just recently had to send back the harness to CPW for them to correct some issues from their end. its been a slow but tedious build.

@Ryy1009 , i used a stock colorado 5.3 manifold on the drivers side, and a Fahler Performance log manifold on the passenger side, the Fahler performance one was like 400-450 when i ordered it, and its built like a brick shithouse, its pretty much a silverado manifold, but you have to "massage" the fender a bit with piece of wood and hammer to have clearance, or at least with my setup

im running the LJMS stage 2 turbo cam, and right now its all open header, i just have to wait on my welding friend to load up his machines and come to my house to finish out the crossover pipe while mounted in the truck. and wastegate is still TBD
i also got the cooling fan situation sorted out and installed mostly, the supermods fans

Same camshaft I'm using. I followed the sloppy mechanics recipe. Vvt cam. I ended up running full 3inch single exhaust out behind the rear tire. Ended up dumping my wastegate back into my Down Pipe.
Working on a few kinks and a good tune in a couple weeks.

some intercooler inital fitting, 1/4 steel bracket fabrication and test fitting behind the grill, only mod i had to do for the grill was to cut the center push fit clip that goes into the header. still working on this one as i still have to do the cold side piping

here's all the info for conversion joint that may be needed for stock driveshaft to 4l80 yoke, the driveshaft being shortened 1-2 inches since its a 4L80e installed now, came back from the driveshaft shop and painted it while out. also the stock 4L60 crossmember can be used but has to be moved back about two inches and holes redrilled, i superglued washers to the nuts and slipped them thru a frame access to lock them into place, can be retrieved with fingers or a small extendable magnet.... but how often do people pull the crossmember
heres all the annoying stuff that needed to be done, the AN conversion fittings for the fuel rail, the correct thermostat for the pump i got, had to drill and tap the pump for the steam port fitting. then i dry fit all the crossover manifold hot side stuff and had a friend of mine tig it together for me. hes a welder by trade and he only charged me like $50 to all of the welding, super nice guy
