I don't have an actual truck yet.

Mines blocked up in EUC

but i am moving right along

new custom 24 volt alternator. i will run both a 12 and 24 volt system. Looking into batteries next

I spoke to them and if anyone wants a 24 volt alternative for a lsx swap they can use this link

Please stop posting in all caps. That is considered shouting and is against TOS on this forum.

Wheels got back from powdercoat and tires mounted. Need to re tap the threads for center caps.

Mock up motor coming along. Built LSX should easily hit 500hp 450tq


AMERICAN MACHINE DASH AND CENTER CONSOLE UP NEXT

Have to ask the obvious question,
is the transmission, transfer case, driveshafts, differentials and axles going
to be Upgraded (a lot?) to be able to harness this power?

I'm not sure what trans/transfer he is going to use but I have been beating on a 7/10K drive train (diffs/axles) 2.56 gears with over 400HP and well over 700ftlb of torque without being able to break anything, just turned 17K on the conversion
I am assuming he is starting with a 12k truck with 2.73 gears which that LSX should be pretty happy with depending on the final transmission ratio.
That thing should be a blast!!! Just remember any time you bust the rears loose it will try to swap ends!!

no idea on gears ect. it's a 2001 and hasne't been shipped yet.

4l80 off a silverado getting a full build.
level 5 or black not sure what this builder will call it.
I am working on motor, dash, gauges and center console before it gets here. Wiring harness next. I want a perfect new wiring harness. everything motorsports quality.

I always start with a Basic or A1 truck as with the 4.97:1 final ratio on those trucks is more desirable than the 5.24:1 the 2:73 gears give IMHO
On my Dmax install, with the 2.56 gears I am only turning about 200 RPM faster at 75MPH than I am on my 2008 3500HD tow vehicle.
The 5.24 gears should be OK with the gasser even though the 4L80 you are using has a higher ratio at 0.75:1 than the 6L90 (0.67:1) or the Allison 1000 (0.614:1)
With the 4L80 and the 2.73 gears I roughly calculate 2860 RPM at 75MPH with 37" tires VS 2200 RPM on my Dmax/Allison 1000
