1st gen build

V893S10 · 10-08-2009, 05:45 PM

i bought a 93 with a 2.8 and 5 speed for $650. the motor ran fine and the transmission shifted fine. i bought the truck with all intentions of a lsx swap. i got just about all my parts and have most of them installed. here are some pics, let me know what you think.

The truck when i bought it

Motor pulled out

Old 2.8

Front clip pulled off

Test fitted the LS1

Painted the cab white w/ House Of Kolor Ice Pearl

Spec stage 3 clutch installed

LS1 bolted in

very nice! also nice choice on the white!
Cant wait to see this thing done! Looks like mine right now haha
Is the transmission on there? Or are you gonna install it with the engine bolted in?

Have you gotten the Clutch master and everything?

Yes the transmission is in. i bolted everything together then put it in. it was much easier that way. when i test fitted the motor the first time, i tried bolting the transmission on after the motor was in, it was a pain in the ass. ive got the master cylinder and the line put together, im planning on installing it this weekend.
