    Welcome to LS1truck Riley! Nice ride you've got there! From the pics, it looks like you've already got the motor installed--and mods to it, or is it a stock 5.3? What about the transmission? Rear end? Suspension setup? Oh, and we need more pics!!!

    Nice! I had a '51 I wish I never sold.

    IMO - Need to get that stance down a bit.

    Ahhh, I was worried about that when I saw the engine cover...both the 4.8 and 5.3 shared the same cover--but I was hoping for a 5.3L

    Is it the stock motor--or any mods to it? What motor did you end up putting into the 00 Silverado to replace the 4.8L you took out?

    txarkitekt, ----The 4.8 in the old truck is stock (besides ls1 block huggers)in case i wanna swap it back to sell the 00 with the orginal motor... 4.8L to 5.3 is pretty much interchangeable...(injectors and elec throtle body and computer) all i had to change..The 00 has a 03 5.3L tahoe motor in it...Its not stock...got a little cam in it..Some guy had it in a tahoe with a street fighter tq conver in the tranny...i got it as well...I hate to put a 5.3L in the old truck on the stock suspension....those susp wernt made that well

    SCIV -----its hard to get the stance down on 22" wheels....it looks "normal" with my factory 16 on it... anything smaller wont clear the disc brakes in the front...
