91 RCLB Build -Swap and bag-

[LsSonoma]

Well started over on GMT400 and dont seem much help so thought I would throw my build up over here too.

Got a 91 RCLB from my dad. 258k 5.7 auto, all original. So far I have bought almost full bag parts and motor and trans. Don't plan to start build until have all parts.

On the bagging side I have never bagged a ride so go some questions on that but have a pretty good idea. Worked on several and been around em a lot. don't know what shocks to run and haven't decided on what tanks going to run.

List of what I got so far
Michigan Metal Works plate control arms
H.D. universal 4link. 1.5 d.o.m with .25 wall
Slam SS-7 for front and SS-8 for rear
SMC 1/2 Valves x8
AVS switch box
1/2 line
upper cups for front and upper and lower rear brackets
165/200 press switch
York 210
Step notch


Now to the funner side for this site. Picked up a l96 6.0 VVT motor from 2010 2500hd. Bought complete pan to engine cover, m.a.f., start, manifold, o2s, harness and pcm. Also picked up a 6l90e.
the swap don't seem that bad to me we have done 4 ls swaps just no Gen 4 yet. Should pose all new wring issues, lol

Just got a few question to start with.
How far does a truck oil pan hang down or what pan are people using?
has anybody done a 6l90e, does it hang below frame rails?
Pretty sure factor manifolds work. correct if wrong








Oh ya and throw up my DD. 98 Sonoma 5.5/7 drop on 18x9.5 c5 wagon wheels, 5.3 finishline level 4 4l60e, 3200 stall (fullsize beast in background)

Sounds like a cool project but know nine of the questions you are asking! Never been a Sonoma fan but man that truck looks good and bet it runs good too!!

Thanks s series kinda my thing up to this point, this is the third 5.3 one ive had. It runs ok just a stock motor, just enough to ruin some tires.

What oil pans dont hang down below the cross member. i plan to lay this thing out and no body talks about it. so guessing a truck pan is ok, i have a H3 oil pan that i plan to run that is left over from a s10 build where it was to low.
