well this project has taken another turn. it just donated it's motor to a 72 c10 truck that i acquired. I think i will just rebuild the 350 from the c10 and put it back in this but it is going to be a while.

I have decided to try and end my unemployment by starting my own business:

I am opening my own Craft Distillery in Naches Wa inspired by motorsports. I don't want to give to much away until i have actual label approvals but i am hoping to do some wheeling inspired spirits including a over-lander gin.

Please follow and like on social media to help me get the word out!!!

well, i was not really ready to install this but the right deal fell into my lap and i ended up getting a new heart for this project:

it is a 2002 4.8L out of a Silverado. Kid got T boned and bought it back to make back some money. ended up paying 500 bucks for the whole motor, harness, compurer and stock air box.

now just have to get the parts to adapt this to the NV4500 and start figuring out the wiring and computer part.

Well... depending upon the condition of 2002 engine, it could be a smok'n deal or a gigantic boat anchor?

Gnarls.

well the kid had video of it running in the truck after it was totaled before he pulled it. the truck only had 140k miles on it which in my experience is not much for an LS motor.

I am optomistic.

My tow rig is a 2003 6.0 and it has been beat hard and is at 215k and still has good compression and oil pressure.
