86 K10 5.3 swap

[Camar068]

Will this tank fit the passenger side on a K10? I like the price....and it's 20 gallons. It's listed on Amazon and RockAuto to fit a 87 V10.

Going to read up on the 30 gallon tank mod. Problem is I need to have the LS done in a week. Hmm.....I guess I could do the tank mod before hand and still plan a week to drop the LS in.

Standard tank for SWB is 16 gallons. That one looks shallower so it may be for a LWB. You can get a 25 gallon blazer tank as well as 32, I was getting into it until the weather turned bad.

Well I found a broke off bolt on one of the heads on the exhaust. Sucks it's not sticking out any. I may try the below option first before I start drilling into it. I knew something wasn't right when I only had 11 bolts lol.

Aluminum line ok to use for fuel for an LS swap? Amazon has 25' for $26.

Aluminum is ok. Of course stainless is better. But yeah I got aluminum for mine.

I use this stuff for all my brake, fuel and tranny cooling lines, easiest stuff to work with, flares real easy and you can bend it by hand, great for minor tweaking when you don't get the bends dead nuts..

Thanks Shortbed, I'll keep that in mind.

ordered some zip ties from amazon with tags on them so I can label everything on the harness. Took off the outside wire loom. I'll dig into it more when I get all the connectors labeled.

While looking up stuff on the net, I came across this good site with all the connectors on LS's. [Edit]....and tons of other info.

Anyone know if this will fit a 2006 5.3? It's the intake off a 2017 Silverado. Not sure if it would benefit from it, let alone if I need to change out pulley system or not. lol me and outside the box thinkin' again.

Negative, no worky. Stock 06' truck intake is hard to beat unless making serious power.

Yeh I just got off the phone with the local dealership. 2 different animals.

Not sure if I want to de-pin every connector to get this stuff on the harness or not. Gonna be a while, I guess I could do a connector a day lol. I got it free from work a few years ago when they did a recall update on a cath lab xray unit. There's guessing 100' of the small stuff and 50' of the large.

Not sure if the aluminum bit will help or make matters worse as well. Thoughts?
