    New here...

    Im new here and considering a 5.3 or 6.0 swap. Poor lil 305 showed its age during this recent snow.

    I have 95 K1500 ECSB 141 wheelbase (IIRC) with the NV3500 and new process transfer case. And it has 3.73 gears.

    I wanna keep the manual trans. And run EFI (I already have HPT Pro... )

    Of course, I will be doing a bunch of searching and stuff. Since its 4WD, I know Imma have issues with headers and exhaust.

    I wont bug yall with a million questions. I do know how to search. LOL

    The only question I have is... How do you 4WD boys enjoy your trucks after the swap? LOL!

    I love it!!!!. I kept it totally stock, right down to the exhaust system. More power and better mileage. I couldn't be happier.

    No, I didn't write one up. I took some pics along the way though.

    In order to accomplish the job, I did alot of reading on this forum and at LT1swap.com.. Lots of useful tips from guys here and Brendan at LT1swap.
