Pulled the trigger

[cornerstone]

Well I've been lurking for a while now and doing the CL search everyday for at least 6 months. I've been debating on going with a 5.3 or 6.0 for my 72 LWB C-10 that currently has a 350 auto. Today I got a call from a friend about a 5.3 with 6 speed automatic out of a 2014 Z71 silverado with under 20k miles. The truck was rearended and totaled. I was afraid of trying to make a 4wd tranny convert to a 2wd so I just bought the motor, PCM , all acessories, harness, and DBW pedal assembly. I paid $1500.00, which I think was a smokin deal. I was expecting it to have an iron block but it is aluminum. From what I have read it has 355 HP and 385 ft/lb. So now the real research and work begins. Ive seen many a swap go down with the 00-07 motors and Im a little nervous about what might come up since its a newer model. So once I get to doing some sort of work I'll do my best to post up as many pics as I can to return the favor that yall have done for me and so many other guys.
