87 K10 5.3 SWAP HELP!!!
Power steering pump lines are flexible and can be moved enough to fit easily. I used the LSX Innovation mounts. I believe that they are virtually identical to the dirty dingo mounts. I watched this video and if you watch what holes he used and pay attention to the instructions it is super...- Biggin0822

Engine and transmission are in. Transmission lines are run to a new transmission cooler. Shift linkage is "mocked up". Just have to put a little bend in the Lokar kit shaft. Fuel just need 2 hose ends to be cut to length and fittings installed to connect to the fuel sending unit.- Biggin0822

Ok so I got the engine and tranny installed and I was lining up the driveshaft to make sure I could use the old one. Length looks really close but cant say for sure because the yoke that was on the th350 is too small for the 4l80. Anyone know if I can just get a new yoke or do I need to get...- Biggin0822

BTW..... 'member when I said that I re wired the truck about a month ago? I am so sick of wiring that I cheated and bought a modified engine harness from speedway motors. I started to pull mine apart and nearly lost my "Christian testimony". The weather has been hovering in single digits here...- Biggin0822

OK so the engine is "in". LOL. Tried to install the engine and trans together but the hoist we were using made that impossible (wouldn't reach high enough) So we put the engine in by itself and are about an inch away from having the mounts line up. What a pain! Got dark and cold so we put...- Biggin0822

Installing valve springs.....question????
I'm using compressed air in the spark plug hole for each cylinder to hold the valves up. The question is, should I hear any air leaking inside the head? I do hear it and I wonder if I need a valve job or if it is normal?- Biggin0822
