Thanks Andrew. I've made some awesome memories with it in the short time that I've had it as well. This body style is just an awesome and fun pick up.

I am swapping ls setup into 87 GMC V1500 LWB. However, I got an almost complete 2001 ext cab silverado 4x4 so I am swapping almost everything off it. The entire wiring harness, engine, trans, fuel tank, rear end, radiator, gauge cluster, steering column and front seats.

I am currently having some trans issues with the 4L60E and I am in the teardown (of the 2001) stage and labeling wiring as well as gathering parts. I can't afford too much down time on my 87 b/c it is my only truck. Plus the 87 has a rebuilt 350tbi/700r4 combo with less than 8k miles on it, I just want to go LS!!

I plan on going with some $30 adapter plates for the motor mounts. As for the headers I'll end up using the stock ones for now. The cool thing about the LS is I can flip the manifolds upside down and use them for the turbo setup if I wanted to.

Does that 2001 truck have rear disc brakes?
