My 68 5.3/4l60E swap

I have been working on this for about three months. I am at the point were I hope to hear it run this weekend. I figured I would start a little thread about it. This is my first time to do an LS swap and it has been fun to do it.

The motor is a 5.3 that has been bored .30 over, custom cam, little bit of work on the heads, TBSS LT headers, car intake, return less fuel system, 3600 stall, and built trans. This should be a fun truck.

I have rebuilt the whole front suspension using poly bushings, new ball joints, new tie rods, new 1in lowering springs, and a sway bar. The truck already had a disk brake conversion on it. The rear suspension will be rebuilt after the truck is moving on its own power.

Here are some Pictures of my progress:

Thanks for looking, cant wait to drive this thing.
