Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
Soooooo, Dave, my dyno guy just called. It wouldn't have mattered if it was 60° and sunny out, it still wouldn't have happened today.
Seems as though he had a slight mishap skiing over the weekend, and broke his face! He just got home yesterday from surgery to have his cheek and jaw put back where they belong! So we'll try again next week, according to him. ![]() ![]()

Eric - See if you have a Fastenal store near you, they do for sure. But any fastener supply store will have them, our ACE Hardware here has them. They are 1/4"-20 thread.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
If you are looking at electric fans, the original ones are too wide. I heard F-body fans will work thought. Can't confirm this however, I'm using the OEM clutch fan.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
Did you start a new thread for the trailing arm conversion or are you going to keep it in here?

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
I thought when I do it that I would start a new thread in the main 73-87 forum, and post a link to it in here.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
You thinking this should stay the LS part of the build, and start a new one for the rest of the truck (suspension, body & paint, interior, etc.)?

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
Fred has pretty much been a guide for many to do an LS swap but you have done things like the rear end swap too that may be of interest but starting a new thread and linking to it for something as big as the trailing arm swap is probably a good idea. Putting it in the general suspension forum will get input from people who may not be following this thread too.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
Wow!! I have not been on here in a couple of years since I parted with my truck and I come back to this? Great job. I have been wanting to get back into a square body so bad lately and this is exactly what I wanted to do to it... ok, well I was thinking more along the lines of a 6.0 though, lol. I knew once I visited again, the itch would get worse and you make it look all too easy. I will have to keep reminding myself I still have a ways to go before I can begin this. Either way, when I am ready, this will be the first post I read again.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info
Nice to have you back Ric83. Look around at some of the guys posting here, there are a couple of them doing 6.0 swaps.
