    The swap started today.....

    Thanks. Since im learning i don't care if someone has an "enthusiastic" opinion, I want to hear all of them. Cam specs and how they affect performance are a little vague right know. Getting there.

    The swap started today.....

    TBH when I picked out this cam it was a bit of a guess. I'm trying to learn how the cam/heads/compression, etc all affect performance on a particular engine. So for the seasoned vets out there, flame away about why this was not a good choice or what would have been a better choice . btw the...

    On a 1999 6.0 it runs from the intake to a sensor and then out the exhaust??????

    The swap started today.....

    Pulled the wiring harness off and got the engine on the stand. Power washed the engine and then took the valve covers and intake off. My plan is to put in a cam and springs, maybe hydraulic roller lifters and pushrods too? If I do change lifters and pushrods, what is the formula for the...

    Did you all know that a 4x4 and 4x2 4l80e ain't the same???? LOL I just learnt that.

    Did you all know that a 4x4 and 4x2 4l80e ain't the same???? LOL I just learnt that.

    Fortunately I "learnt it" the cheap way. My "auto recycler" was actually listening to what I was doing with the engine/ tranny swap and called me back to tell me that. Fortunately he had a 4x2 tranny with only 37k miles on it so my swap will now be a 1999 6.0 and a 2001 4l80e. Glad he caught...

    Picking up a 5.3 and 4l80e for the 85 c10

    Thanks! I will give myself a bump up! The deal with the 5.3 and 4l60 fell through because after inspection there were water pump and power steering pump issues. The wreck that the truck was in got a little too close! I found a 99 6.0/4l80e combo for $1500 with 120k on it and I think I'm...

    Picking up a 5.3 and 4l80e for the 85 c10

    Paying $1500 for the pair (133k miles) out of a 2500 van. Includes computer and harness. I have never torn an engine down but am definitely mechanically inclined. My 350 developed a rod knock so the LS swap is gonna happen sooner than I thought. I'm considering putting a cam, lifters...

    Installed trailer wiring ....... Blackout!!

    I didn't test starter. Would that make a total blackout? I don't get power to anything.

    Installed trailer wiring ....... Blackout!!

    The trailer lights wiring had the ground wire cut off so I re-grounded it and hooked up the trailer lights and went to start the truck and acted like it had a dead battery. Battery voltage tested at 12.6v. No fuses blown. I put in a new ignition switch and..... nothing. The wiring is a mess...
