93 1500 w/ 5.3L & 5 speed swap

Got in the headers today along with the S&P adapters.
The headers fit great and are pretty easy to slide up from the bottom even with the spark plugs in. They do not hang down below the frame at all either. Plenty of room for the O2 sensors as well. I am impressed with the fitment but the black coating on them truly sucks though, half was already rubbed off in the box. I plan to ceramic coat them though before final install.





The S&P coolant temp adapter and oil pressure adapters work great. Coolant temp for gauges is now on the pass side rear of the head and oil pressure is in same location at rear of block. However I am kinda pissed at them because they didnt give me a price for shipping but I told them I'd prefer USPS. Once I got the bill today they sent them FedEx and cost $15 for these 2 small parts! Not cool.


Cleaned up a little of the engine tonight and installed the intake. Also put some loom on a few wires as well. Harness and PCM should be in any day and I'll get on that fairly quick.


I traded off my stock radiator for a 34" one from a suv with towing package. Its like brand new so couldnt pass it up. Also scored some 06 Silverado E fans off ebay today for cheap. Great shape. Measured my 06 and they have the same size radiator as this one I picked up the other day. So thats great!

You sir are correct. I scored the brackets off a member here that ended up not using them. I did just buy a LS1 type tensioner though because the truck one didnt seem to want to work. I am still using my factory 93 AC compressor. I did not want to crack open my lines since the AC blew nice and cold to begin with.

Lol yes..Yes there is.

I have not done a whole lot with the truck lately cause I've been helping other people with their stuff and working on my paint booth. But I did pick up some 06 Silverado E fans that I'll be using. Only have a few more wires to hook up for the engine but I'm taking my time routing everything and making this look somewhat factory. I'll have some pics posted up here in the next few days cause I plan on gettin a lil work done on it soon.
