    DFW Newbie

    I was just told about this site and will probably be looking around trying to learn as much as I can about swapping in a 5.3 or 6.0 into my project truck. I have a few things to get done with it prior... but this will be on the list.

    I currently have a 93 rcsb GMC Sierra with a 5.7 and 5-speed.

    Been working on
    4/6 DJM Drop
    Shaved tailgate
    Welded in rollpan
    Frenched Cadillac tail lights
    I still have to shave the doors...

    Working on getting the bodywork done then I will be piecing together a swap!

    Welcome. Word of advice, if you're not going all out or after a track number, keep the 5speed. With a decent clutch (I run a Centerforce) and RP synchromax in the trans it is a blast to drive.
