Just Fishing's 09 Tahoe Build thread

[Just Fishing]

Pretty much describes my life.
lol

Plan today, get the hoe higher on the jack stands.
See if i can't get the old engine mounts off of the truck.

Then the wife needs me to fix some screens in the house...

Then run the rc car for a while.

And finally, i want to pull the crank bearings from the old block.
Install into the new block.
Mock up the crank and one rod and piston.

Since i can look up the 5.3 piston specs, I'm planning to use it to do some measuring before i order the new pistons.

Let's see how that goes.

And I'm on call this weekend, so I'm trapped.

So in my parts list, I'm going with the gm springs.

As for lifters, i don't see the gm ls7 lifters available.

Summit does gave them under their brand.
So i might end up going that route.

Thoughts?

Exactly. I haven’t worn pants, shorts or underwear in over a year.

Is that because you go commando under your skirt?

Decided wth, lets paint the valve covers silver!

first one down.


Just laid down the final clear coat in this picture.
Hopefully it stays bug free...

AC pump bracket was also ugly, I figured if i'm bolting it to the side of the block.
it better match!

It’s just a 8XL tee shirt but I guess you could call it a skirt. You know, so my quarantine weight gain doesn’t show. I figure I can gain another 80 lbs and nobody will know.

I have one of those t shirts.

Ah, yes. The "tall tee". I went to a gas station in the 'hood to buy a black one a couple years ago when I was Fred Durst for Halloween.

Close enough!

Damn. You just made me realize 20+ years of my life have zipped by and just how long gone those good ol' days are.

I remember "Nookie" on Total Request Live like it was last summer. Also, Korn's "Got The Life", that one by that Canadian chick that was in the movie "Titanic" and a bunch of others.
