budget lsx swap help
hey everyone, i'm looking for some advise-or maybe a link to a thread where someone has done this swap the way i need to do it. i'm looking to put a 5.3 in my 80 c10 and i need to do this as cheap as possible and buy the bare minimum new, so my questions are:
can i reuse my stock radiator? if so what hoses can be used? if i buy adapter plates, can my stock engine mounts be used? has anyone used a 700r trans behind an ls? if so what tv cable adapter can i use? is there a cheap way to run dual tanks with this set up? with that in mind, what would you recommend for a wallet friendly fuel system? i've seen that 4th gen fbody manifolds fit-how about c5 or c6 corvette manifolds? if i use the stock truck oil pan, will it clear my cross member? i am looking for a drive by cable set up to use and i plan on modifying the 5.3 engine harness, any other ideas or insight on this is welcome as always-and just because i haven't posted one in awhile, a pic of the ol girl
