4.3L Is Out 6.0L Is In!


Recommended Posts

total of 5 weeks to work out alllllll the bugs but now it rocks! the trucks is unbelievable in the 4000 to 6000 rpm range. for those that dont know i got a 2004 lq4 6.0l last august. i spent all winter breaking it down to the block and rebiulding it slowly on the weekends when i was home from college. me and my little brother(16) took our time and learned as we went. this was the first time i ever saw pistons lol as june came up and the sherriffs academy was close i decided i should do it before starting it so i could focus. the old 4.3l came out pretty simple. the hard part that took a week was a v6 truck requires one specific engien mount! i had to go to about 13-14 dealerships before i got the right one! then the fuel system was kinda hard. long story short it now has a z06 corvette setup in it. lol

 

the engien mods are as follows nothing huge but just enough.

k&n cold air intake

ls6 came/ yellow springs

lpp longtube headers/ORY

corsa touring muffler

160' T-STAT

Black bear tune

oem efans

transgo hd2 shift kit and corvette servo

long tranny cooler

a sick engine cover lol

 

overall i love the truck now! the only thing im trying to work on is the raspy exhaust im thinkn tailpies or highflow cats???
