That's awesome! I'm not that talented

Factory LS exhaust manifolds look like the passenger side is going to cause issues, since the passenger side dumps down and back. On the 6.5 Detroit the passenger side goes straight back. Im curious what others have used, seems like the only thing that comes close to mimicking the passenger side...

Killer!! Going to go up a little more once I go through the springs. Got a winch plate for the front.

Mountain Machine mounts rock!

Gotta get that engine in so I can mount the hood for full effect… love it so far

Ok so anyone following along -is there a proper distance I can measure to ensure the torque converter is seated all the way? I’m a Torqe converter rookie here. I was going to measure the factory converter but I believe it must have slipped forward some when I removed the engine. Of course I...

Oh, forgot to add you’ve gotta completely remove the rear hitch assembly. Well I guess you could leave it, but if you plan on using a rear air lift bumper it needs to be removed.

Couple steps forward today and a few back… went to install the body lift, I bought a 2” puck kit from Mikellis, and thought I’d be content with that. Well then I saw that some manufacturers make a complete replacement frame mount style body lift and I liked that a lot more, well everything...

Yes that’s exactly what I meant

Ok, getting ready for the body lift and wanted to see what a 42” would look like beforehand and there is plenty of room! I’ll probably have to trim the exhaust on driver side. However it looks like I’ve got a little bit of caster to adjust. I’ve got some shims on the upper control arm mount...

That might explain why the heater crossover tube that runs through the doghouse is missing? Lots to learn thanks Mogman

Body lift was supposed to show up yesterday, but apparently it’s not coming till next week -dang. Should be cool. I’ve got some other stuff to chip away at anyways. Started cleaning some stuff up and thought it was interesting that the 2 small lines on the fuel tank are in a loop -what’s the...

Thanks for the tips dude. Should be a cake walk now… also makes a lot more sense now that the tank is out

Dropped the fuel tank today, sheesh. If you ever wanted to know how NOT to drop the tank let me know -I’m an idiot. Started off fine, disconnected the lines through the access panel. removed driveshaft Unfastened the hose between each tank side -for sloshing fuel??? removed fuel filler and...

so how are people mounting these fuel tank blocks?

Broken manifold bolts -no problem

Slowly cleaning this up since a lot of the factory stuff isn’t going back in this. Went through the breather lines and made some corrections so that all of that stuff still works. Almost have all the wiring removed. I plan on selling the wiring once I’ve finished removing it all. Really great...

thank you! I saw a conversion with the LS/SBC adapter plate and even though it got the job done I wasn’t a fan. Even though I didn’t want to pay stupid money I went ahead and got the ones from Mountain Machine on order. Their design looked good and clean. I love what the guys from Grind Hard...

Engine came out no problems, really enjoying working on this truck. All the bolts are like new. Now to wait on parts for the 6.0 Lq9

Unfortunately it’s bad, I wouldn’t be doing all this if it was good. #3 rod broke and messed up both cylinder 3 and 4 and the cam.
