    rear A/C lines for 1978 Suburban K20

    This is what i did to my v2500, I removed the metal lines and measured lengths and had them made locally. Not the cheapest way but has been working great for a few years now

    LS Swap Engine crossmember clearance issues

    I still believe you'll be fine spacing the cross member down but like with any lift your gonna want check drive line angles anyway. I used this helpful app if you haven't checked your angles yet. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Tremec.tremec.app

    LS Swap Engine crossmember clearance issues

    I would think you can space the trans cross member down just enough for the front to clear 1/2" - 3/4" is probably ok, don't know if you're Lifted or not but at stock ride height you're angels should be fine. I can't recall if i spaced mine or not, I'll look when I get home.

    LS Swap Engine crossmember clearance issues

    Hmmm, same as me. I used energy Suspension engine mount inserts. Maby take another look at the trans mount and or trans cross member height/location. Although my engine seems further forward. I used a 4L60 trans with cross member in stock location and factory length drive shafts.

    LS Swap Engine crossmember clearance issues

    What motor mounts did you use? I used a set of adjustable mounts from a company called dirty dingo,and had no frame clearance issues on my v2500 5.3 swap.

    What year front clip do you like best?

    The headlight lenses are from LMC. the bulbs are LED's, can't recall the who makes them (have to look it up when i get home) but they do work great.

    Paint manufacturer recommendations for the DIY

    I used Eastwood epoxy and primer and tamco paint (that bitch orange/murdered out black) came out great. Pre pan price was around $1,100 for 1gal of orange,2gal of black and two gal of clear. I would imagine prices have gone up but i highly recommend Tamco paint

    Steering shaft binding

    Just bolting the pieces together without the rag joint will absolutely cause a binding condition. And most likely will eventually break and come apart.

    Gauge Options

    I went with the dakota digital and couldn't be happier with them overall. Plus they integrate well with the LS engine ecm by reading OBD2 data. Displays stuff like gear selection,trans temp,inlet air temp,4x4&low range indicators. Not to mention i can set warning alerts for volts, temp and oil...

    Brake line, opinions needed.

    I don't remember where i bought my pre bent stainless brake lines but i do remember a holy crap moment when finding this on both front brake lines... The pic makes it look obvious but it was actually hard to see, from the top they looked ok. This is where the line comes through the frame and...

    Tach conversion kits

    They physically fit great and as for wiring it's pretty straight forward, all connections are done at single a module box and the cluster connects over a cat5 cable. But there are a lot of connections overall and can be intimidating for someone not good with electrical. I also use an add-on...
