    IF there were a ground clearance issue it would be the oil pan. If needed, you could swap the Truck pan for an F body pan and pickup. I have little experience with body dropped trucks but I imagine an 80e should still fit in tunnel. Good luck!

    not sure about the c10's but on a bodied 88-98 i know you need an f-body pan. chad(Groundedbigbody) just did a swap in his bodied 94 suburban. another thing you may have to worry about is the truck intake may be too high & you may have to use an LS1/LS6 intake.

    Rpm this is kevin with the green bodied c10 on 26s I talked to chad he Told me about the camaro oil pan but the way I'm bodied I don't think it'll be a issue but if so I'll be ordering one. A friend was was telling me about the ls6 intake which I may be doing bc I was thinking of machining down the heads an making it a ls6 an changing what's needed to complete the engine.I'm def going to change the water pump to a ls1..... I have a 4in cowl hood so I may be good I guess I'll find out fully on Friday when I got pick it up.

    cool!!! another LA member. you're on the westbank right? you're more then welcome to come by & check out my swap. i know we have different trucks but you can get some measurements & what not.
    if you swap over to an F-body water pump then you will need all F-body accessories, same with the vette & truck accessories from what i understand.
