Yes. But not for a few months. Motor swap and jet skis drained me. Going to go with a 2/4, not too low. Going to add a rear sway bar, bigger front sway bar, better shocks, and some other goodies when I do.
1993 Chevy 1500 4.8 swap
Well, since I've lost my keys I will be home for a bit. Might as well make a build thread right?
Starting with this:
1993 RCSB c1500 v6. I am the third owner. she has 285k on her but drives better than just about any car/truck i have ever driven. The guy before me had it since 1995 and has treated it wonderful. Complete new a/c system last year, shocks, bushings, tires, etc. If the seat didn't have a rip and the paint was not shot, it would be just like a new truck.
But its slow. Very Very slow. So why a 4.8 and not a 5.3? because I still want to get 20+ on the hwy, and I will only be towing the jetskis with it. Plus down the road a turbo makes up for the displacement loss and still keeps the mpg.
So I bought this:
And a bunch of stuff to put it in with.
And that's where I am as of now. Still waiting on a few parts from ups. Then a trip to the junkyard for new keys, and a few misc things I need for the swap, and it will be going in. Hope to have it back on the road by the end of the month.
