Hey I haven't been on this site in a while but I sold my old limited, bought another one a few years later and I am in the process of swapping my old 5.7 to a "slightly" built 5.3 vortec. I reworked the wiring harness to make it a stand alone one and rebuilt a junkyard 4.8 into a 5.3 in my living room...yes in my living room. I will attach a link so that you can hear it running (on the patio lol). But I will be sure to post more pictures ASAP.
Here's the latest video.


I'll update this post a little later on with a lot of pics from my living room build.

Later!

Lol yea they weren't too fond of it when I first started it up but I did give them fair warning when I planned on cranking it up. They were more caught off guard by the fact that it was in my living room lol

Awesome! Hey the house is cleaner than a garage, the microwave and bathroom are right there. Why not do it in the house? Tom Cruise did it in "War of the Worlds". Awesome

New thread title... single life, happy life.. good job.. BTR is the way to go when doing an engine on your own. I have the same timing gear in my 6.0. It's not hard If you willing to put in work and read. It's all out there.

Is it wrong? I'm going with no. Better than video games at the table. Looks extraordinary

I appreciate that guys. I just got done doing the rest of the wire loom and put these new protective boots on the plugs. Like and subscribe to my channel. I'll be posting a lot of videos of when I put it in the Tahoe.

Looking good. Nice engine stand. I have the same shock boots and my oil pressure is the same as your from cold start to warm up. Makes me want to build up my old 5.3 in the garage.
