I may have to delete this but here goes...
Subject: 1993 RCSB 2WD GMC C1500
New power plant: 2002 5.3L with LS6 camshaft and orange stripe springs
New transmission: 2002 4L60e transmission with a bunch of goodies inside it
Some goodies in the trans:
Art Carr 9.5" converter
Superior 1-2 billet servo
Superior 4th billet servo
Transgo hardened valve body plate
Aluminum pistons replacing the plastic ones
4L60-HD2 shift kit
Transgo Vacuum shift pressure controller
Engine is bolted in using Ebay style adapter plate, Gen1 V8 truck mount cups and Oriellys sourced 5" long mount bolts.
Energy Suspensions polyurethane transmission mount went in since it needed something there.
Engine is full of Castrol 5w30 with a WIX filter. Plate above the oil filter is tapped 1/8"NPT, 1/8 x -4AN fitting is installed and there's a 6' long -4AN braided hose ready to feed a front mount turbo one of these days.If it proves to be too long I have a 4' long hose ready to take it's place. A 3/8" NPT hole was drilled and tapped in the front right corner for a -8AN fitting. I drilled the pan and then removed it from the engine to clean the chips out, they went everywhere.
The factory transmission cooler hoses went back in without a hitch, lonely for a radiator now.
The starter was crushed somehow, I beat it back into shape and it works but I don't know for how long, maybe forever, maybe 15 seconds.
I know the lucky person getting the half finished project wants it but A/C isn't much of an option since something huge is taking up the entire front of the radiator core support area where the A/C condenser normally goes.
