94 K1500 L33 upgrade

Nice Site you have here. Lots of good information.

I wanted to share my latest project with you. About a month ago I bought back a truck that was near and dear to me and my wife. I had it when we met and we even drove it away at our wedding back in 2003. I bought my 94 K1500 back from a good friend who had it and only put about 7k miles on it. The tranny was weak when I sold it and it has continued to slip and not move when cold. Had a quote of around $2400 to pull it make it bullet proof and put it back in. So for the same money roughly I can put in a LSx swap.

Went to my local junk yard and bought a 2005 L33 complete pull out with trans. Just got it home today. Got a call last night from a guy that wants the TBI engine. So its all coming out soon. Stay tuned!

Here are a few pics.

This is my second OBS swap. Did my dad's 95 last year. Its a 2wd though.

Yeah i remember reading that you had done the other swap. The only thing i'm worried about is wiring the gauges and all that stuff. I'm not gonna steal your thread tho maybe you can check out my thread on here and help! Lol

He lechez71, how's the 82 coming?

Ya the L33 is staying stock, just a daily driver / trailer tugger truck.
