Title: New guy from oklahoma with 84 swb ls swapped
Post by: Smarttravis1511 on January 29, 2013, 09:51:10 pm

New to the forum from Oklahoma and thought I'd share a picture of my beloved project! Got it lowered about 3/5 with the factory 8" ralleys wrapped with some 295/50/15 hancooks. Been reprinted but with factory paint code. Finally swapped the junkie 350 and 700r and dropped in a 5.3  fuel injected with a built th350. Any more info anyone wants or pics just ask illnhelp the best I can!

Fittment was great! Had to knotch pass. Frame 1/4 inch to clear the exhaust manifold. I ran the th350 trans. The 5.3 is cammed and I'm running a loose 2800 stall and I get 15 to 15.5 on hiway. As far as power it's night and day difference from my mild cammed 350 it had! I used dirty dingo motor mounts and they are adjustable so I didn't have to modify trans crossmember or driveline. Oh an it has 2.72 rearend so that prob helps the fuel milage some
