Well my ls swap is slowing underway finally. I Kept the 408 from the LUV. Ive had it stored in the spare bedroom closet to keep it out of the way. Got it sat in the truck with CPW motor mount kit. Ill be running a 4l80. Thinking about turboing it. I know itll run decent on motor, but it wont be enough. I wanted more from the luv so i know ill want more from this too. My dad recently turbo'd his nova and is having fun with it and it really makes me want a turbo too. I havent seen many turbo setups that are still running ac. So id like to do that. No ac is 100% not an option. Looking around at it, it looks like i can snake a 4" pipe under the ac compressor and above the control arm and still have room for a log manifold to fit. It will be tight, but itll go i think. My next items up to buy are a trans and a ls2/3 pan so i can get the motor all mounted. All the specifics of the turbo setup are really undecided, but probably a borgwarner 76mm, id1000's, all custom exhaust and intercooler piping obviously.
Heres a few pics of the truck. Was my back n forth work truck up till last month.
