Re: 6.0/4l80 first start
Why can't you have both? They work pretty well together

Re: 6.0/4l80 first start
Money that's a rebuilt 6.0 and a gm reman 4l80. Eventually I wanna boost it but I didn't want the truck sitting for months or years waiting to do it all. I like driving that thing and it would kill me to just have it sit.

Re: 6.0/4l80 first start
L92 it's a lq4 with cathedral heads, a ls6 cam and valve springs. I used cpps swap kit. It came with the Doug thorley headers. I couldn't use the crossmember out of the kit it was too wide for some reason it stuck out past the frame rails by almost a inch. So I used my 700r4 crossmember from bowtie Overdrives it worked fine on the 4l80 and gave me more room for the exhaust. I'm not sure what mufflers I'm gonna run I have a set of 40 series flowmasters but I think I wanna switch but not sure yet. Still have a bug to work out on the motor my ltfts for bank two are way too high almost on the 23 range and I'm getting a p0174 code for bank 2 lean. I know it's not a vaccum leak so I'm gonna swap the injectors over this weekend to see if it moves. I'm also waiting for my aluminum drive shaft to get made then I can do some donuts.

Re: 6.0/4l80 first start
Nice. Cool truck. I can't wait to get my 6.0/4l80 running in my truck but I first have to learn how to make decisions

Re: 6.0/4l80 first start
I finally said f it and did it. I ordered the motor and trans sept 16th got it oct 29th and fired it up jan 1st. It wasn't that bad but some things I wish I had done different. I highly recommend pulling the front clip to install the engine and trans together. I have a 4 inch drop and couldn't get it in so I had to break it apart. The trans is HEAVY and TALL and doing it on the ground was a pain by myself even with a trans jack. I like your stepper slowcpe. I wasn't a fan of them but they are growing on me. if my bed was trashed I would probably convert it but its in really good condition.

Once I actually pulled a front clip and learned how ridiculously easy it was I will never install another engine without pulling it again.

Re: 6.0/4l80 first start
Yup. Front clip comes off every time the engine comes out. WAY easier to work on stuff that way.

Re: 6.0/4l80 first start
IF someone would make a flip-nose front clip for the 64-66 that actually was any good, I'd be on one in a second. I love being all steel, but if I could dump 150lbs off the nose AND make it easier to work on....whooo I'd be all over that.

Re: 6.0/4l80 first start
I guess I'll have to plan on pulling the front end off my truck when I put an LS in it. I wonder if it's ever been off...

Re: 6.0/4l80 first start
Yeah we ended up pulling the whole front clip to get the 6cyl out. Just made things easier but now turned my truck into a full frame off. My front clip was a bit of a pain to get off due to rusty bolts, but if I put fresh ones in, it would probably be a piece of cake the next time.
Thanks elimontfort

Re: 6.0/4l80 first start
Did you pull each peice off, or just pull the clip as an assembly? Its the difference between a 30 minute process and 2hour process lol.

Re: 6.0/4l80 first start
Can it seriously be done in half an hour? If so, is that true for square bodies as well?

I had my radiator out and fender wells out. Might have been less than half an hour to be honest. You need a second person (or two) to lift it off. It is much easier if your wheels are off to.

Re: 6.0/4l80 first start
I guess I'll have to try that when I do an LS swap. Of course, first I have to find somewhere to do it, no garage for now
