For you LS swap guys.
mine was an 03 with 135k. Oil pan was clean when I changed out to a lower profile one. I wouldn't be to concerned with sub 250k if it appeared well maintained. I limited mine to 03-06 motors because i wanted , no EGR and no DOD.- Drauka99

6.0 swap
more than likely you will need to shorten the driveshaft motor mount adapters (new mounts themselves are recommended) you will need to come up with a cooling system plan, you can use the LS system, it fits in our trucks with some minor mods, or you can use a big block radiator, or others have...- Drauka99

What I need to know before LS1 swap K10
That's who I followed. LT1Swap did my computer work (after I tried local and he failed) I used a few different parts the Ugly Truck. I didn't use Holly for the fuel pump (to expensive) And I found some rubber spacers for under the LS radiator support rather than the metal he uses, I figure...- Drauka99

Loud Knock After Replacing Intake Manifold
oouuuffftaaaa that sounds bad. I'm thinking bore scope into the cylinders. Sounds to me like 1 of two things, something got dropped into a cylinder and its hitting or rod knock happened to happen at the same time as the intake change.- Drauka99

LQ4 Swap, starter wire routing question
i'll try to look this weekend at mine. I think it ran along the oil pan towards the front of the engine then crossed sides and then up to the top side into the main loom of wires. I kept mine with the stock harness and fuse box, so i didn't have to touch many wires.- Drauka99

A little info about wrench sizes
Info I learned on LS header bolts, if you round off a 10mm a little a 3/8 socket is the answer to tap onto what's left and hope it turns.- Drauka99

What motor is best for a swap on a K25
350 SBC (or 383 stroker) or 454 big block if you want to go old school with carb 5.3 or 6.0 LS for a fuel injected flavor. none are bad choices, just depends on what you like and how much work you want to do.- Drauka99

What have you done to your square lately??
I looked at the bed that I got that came off the same truck.... the back corner below the taillight has a "new" body line on one side. LOL at least I am prepared this time. The door was supposed to be a "quick" clean up the flaking paint and get prepped for eventually painting the truck... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I started body work a few weeks ago. Yesterday I put a door I had bought on the stand to get cleaned up. It looked great other than some chipped paint. I pulled the molding off and lo and behold a 1/4 inch thick chunk of bonding came with it. The previous owner had bondo over the rust... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I started body work. I think I have my new to me tailgate done. Had several dents and dings on the face that I was able to repair. The top rail was petty beat up and I smoothed that area out as best I could. probably running a trim piece across the top anyway. Had some rust along the bottom... -

What have you done to your square lately??
Nope. To get the seat lower all the adjustment stuff had to go. After the engine swap it became very clear to me that I wasn’t going to feel safe letting my SO drive the truck or pretty much anyone so seat adjustment became pretty much a moot point from there -
What have you done to your square lately??
I’m a big guy (6’4” and 350ish). And my bench seat was a bit high and forward for me. So today I modified the stock sliders. They are fixed position now but the seat should sit about 2” further back and an 1-1/2” lower. Pretty much the hinge cover on the sides will be right on the floor of... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I replaced the rubber rear brake hose. On this list of things to still work on, new rear brakes (pretty sure the original shoes from 1981 are still on the truck), sandblast and paint 2 more of the stock rally rims (already done 2), and dig deeper into the dash to fix the wiring that the mice... -

1981 C10, 6.0 LQ4 swap with Manual Trans Exhaust Question
I am not great at giving reviews but I wanted to drop a line here for LT1Swap.com. Brendan not only emailed me several times helping me diagnose an issue I was having with the ECU(PCM for some) but he actually answered the phone when I called. Extremely rare these days. I ended up sending...- Drauka99

1981 "Computer"
Sorry I'm late seeing this. Let me track it down, and I'll get with you. It should be in the back of the truck in a box, but we've been working on a lot of stuff and stuff gets moved. I think I have the wires from the computer (with that connector) and the other connector at the distributor...- Drauka99

What have you done to your square lately??
Went to a couple pick and pull old school junkyards on Wednesday. Guy at one had a really good condition shortbed I’d say 85. Front clip was mostly gone, gave me a real good price on the whole bed ( mines driver side is creased and buckled). He gave us free rein on the place to see if there...
