I've been gone for a while, come back and your strapping on turbos! What's going on here! Lol oh Im having problems with my 5.3L swap, what do I do about my stock throttle cable being too short? Aside from ordering a universal one?

Do you still have the throttle cable from the donor?  I am using the throttle cable from the 03 donor, you just have to modify the clip the for the firewall.  I have pics of it and thought I posted them but apparently not..

Very interested in seeing how this thing lives. Are you painting or powder coating the frame?

Getting pretty legit man! What's the guess on power range when done?

On this truck I am putting it together like you see it.  eventually the body will be painted, but other than that, it is staying like it is.  This will be a driver.

Initially I don't care what the power range is, the motor needs to come out and the rings gapped before we get silly with the boost.  The turbos will support 1000hp though.  I would like to see around 800hp eventually.
