880 casting of course, remains to be seen if it's a 4 bolt. I still need to drain the pan and flip it over to check out the bearings and redo them if needed

Finally got the old vortec out. Considering saving it for a 355 build and slapping it in an s10, but that's for another day.

Now it's time to wash down and paint the engine bay, and redo the steering, front suspension, and brake booster while I'm in here. Fortunately I've got everything but the steering box and the idler and Pitman arms ready to rock

Got a lead on 5.3l so this build might be leaping to an ls/ manual swap in no time

On top of the new 5.3l, i've managed to sell the 5.7 that was in front of the nv4500 already, which should pay for my mounting, flywheel, and pressure plate so i can get this show on the damn road already!

Slow updates lately, sorry! Engine is close to ready to go in, just a bit more painting of the frame and engine bay first.

Find some research I found that all ls cranks will fit an ls2 sealed pilot bearing, and that the 5.3 will bolt up to a 6.0 flywheel (nfw1050 is the one I used) along with a luk 4-201 clutch kit. I assume any kit would work but that's close to oem on a 6.0 which should be good enough for now, and it also comes with the appropriate pilot bearing. This means that my nv4500 will slide together like butter when it's all said and done.

To accompany my ls swap, I had thought about using the nbs cluster board to power the gauges thus negating any need for several of the typical sensor changes and giving more reliable gauges. That's morphed into this little beauty

it's rough, but coming along nicely

Not much progress on the transmission yet aside from ordering my new clutch. Engine however is a different story, once I finish the driver side frame rail she'll be ready to go in
