Low oil pressure killed it, pickup tube O ring likely caused that since it wasn't an instant or complete loss of pressure.
Thanks. I've tried to keep a balance between the red/black/silver
:hemad: hope that f g t hasn't found his way over here...
engine looks great !! trucks also looks awesometrucks going to be a beast with that 6l
Thanks y'all
Mine too. It was a toss up between this and an 06 front end swap. I just found the grille and cap for $75 so I took that route lol
Thank ya
imo
They are 18x9s. Would like twennies.
I really don't know, I wish I did.
appreciate it buddy
I took no chances of low oil pressure this time hence the ported ls6 pump lol
bad news, a little set back. I've been super busy with 2 jobs and school and haven't gotten a chance to remove the 2nd broken exhaust bolt in the head. Yesterday was my dad's day off, so he figured he would help out and try to remove the bolt..I was unaware of this.
so he called me saying I have some good news and bad news regarding your motor. I'm like :areyousrs:
when he was drilling for the EZ out he didnt get it straight and drilled through the threads in the head and then some. So he ended up taking the head off with the bolt still inside and took it to an engine/machine shop to get fixed and plugged? I really don't know the extent of it all because I never saw the head since this was done while i was at work. machine shop said they will HOPEFULLY have it done Tuesday. My dad feels a bit guilty cuz he went and bought all new head gaskets and bolts and had the whole head gone through by the shop, and he's paying for the labor and bolts/gaskets.
Oh well. I'm not too upset, just bummed of the set back. I'm still panning on dropping the motor in this weekend, just gonna have to install the head on the motor in the truck next week. bleh

Made some progress today. Hooked up the trans to the motor, torque converter bolts, starter, power steering, water pump, AC, 34" radiator, and the 05+ efans. Didn't really get to paint or clean everything like I wanted to due to time and weather. I'll clean more once it's done. Got the 862 head from the 5.3l on the passenger side just so I could pick up the motor with the lift lol. In a few days I'll get the 317 head back and install.
anyone have under drive pulley experience? It seemed bottomed out when installing and I couldn't get it to go in anymore. I lightly oiled in and had a torch to heat it up to get it to go in. It was a motherfucker. It looks to be about the same amount of gap as my stock pulley had from pulley to cover...
And a funny pic. I was at the shop I used to work at the other day and they were installing an FTS 7" on a nnbs. Looks like FTS forgot to cut out the rest of this crossmember....

Head is back from shop. Got it installed this morning. Waiting on my efan harness from Nelson. All that's left is put on intake mani, wire up harness, plug connectors in, and put on the headers.
Also might be buying Vmax door badges since I'm not a poser now :dickslinger:

iirc you can tell fts to not cut out that part. ive seen a few fts lifts with no cutouts whatsoever
