Overheard during ones pilgrimage to LS.

First swap
"OMG this is so confusing, what parts do I need, where can I buy them, is this price good? How many miles, how much horsepower, wiring, wiring, WIRING?! TUning, tuners, SD, transmissions...waht?"
...
"Engine went in easy, wiring wasn't too bad, just gotta take your time. Makes really good power stock. Wow I get 19mpg? Starts every time"

Second Swap
"I wanna go with a bigger engine than last time. I'm thinking about a 6speed. 400hp isn't enough, I'm thinking FI. Cams, SD, PTVC, AFM DOD ASPCA!@@@>!!?"
"Its not hard, weekend job. Naw, wiring is just plug and play. I'm buying HP Tuners.

dman1982 · 09-29-2014, 09:03 PM

so a little update, i went and checked on the truck today and the guy hasn't pulled the motor yet, i told him id pull the motor and tranny out for a 100 off the asking price of 400, he wasn't a fan of the idea...i tried to make a steal even better but didnt work out...but i do infact still have dibs on the truck!!!

dman1982 · 10-23-2014, 03:31 PM

a little update, i just paid for the truck, the guy will have the motor out saturday, its got a little more rust than i thought but nothing crazy still worth 400 bucks

You're gonna swap in one of those 8.1L LS motors!?!?

dman1982 · 10-23-2014, 03:54 PM
