Thinking of doing an LS SWAP HELP and Opinions Please

I have a 1978 2wd long bed (305 v8, 350 turbo trans)
Engine is weak
I've been contemplating a LS swap, and have an opportunity to
Get a 2001 GMC van with a 5.7 350. The engine was replaced by the dealer 6 years ago and has 60,000 on it now.
The frame rotted on the van and it is not driveable.
Engine sounds perfect.
I am totally new to LS swaps
Is this a good option year (2001) for this project?
Looking for best option year/engine for successful swap.
Any insight is appreciated
Thank you, in advance!!

need drivers door glass

May 18, 2019, 03:08:52 PM by p7387 | Views: 45 | Comments: 1

hello
1987 305 short fleet

i need a new drivers door window
i know this is a basic item but is there any one vendor i should look for or might i be better off going to my local auto parts store?
also are there any particular manufacture or subtle differences to be aware of or is this just a basic "a window is a window" situation. any other items i might need to pick up for the job (clips, adhesive etc.?)

the drivers door glass shattered while the window was down and the door was slammed shut, might there have been something loose internally that caused it?

thanks

Transmission purchase question

May 18, 2019, 11:35:06 AM by Chuck Step-a-side | Views: 53 | Comments: 2

I'm swapping out my 350 engine on my 1984 Silverado Stepside and thinking about replacing the Turbo 350 transmission.
So my question is - would you purchase a re-manufactured transmission from online vendor or purchase a rebuild from a local transmission guy? The local guy offers all the performances upgrade and 1 year warranty and unlimited miles.

Brake light issues

May 17, 2019, 01:58:22 PM by 1985GMCSierra | Views: 64 | Comments: 4

I have a 1985 GMC Sierra that has been having some brake light issues. At first, just the right taillight went out and I went to replace the bulb, but that wasn't the problem. I tested the assembly with a test light and everything was working, but then I had to put it in storage for a while and go to school so I didn't mess with it for a few months. Looking at it today, the left taillight won't work either, but when I put a bulb in the right taillight and put on the right turn signal, both taillights and my license plate light flash as if I have my hazards on. When I flip the left taillight, it doesn't flash. It seems like there are some wiring/ground issues, but I'm not sure and don't really know where to start. Any ideas?
