Re: Project: Rufus Restoration

Thanks for the kind words! If the pictures aren't obviously clear, I got a great deal on a LQ4/4L80E several months ago, and decided go with the LS swap for my drivetrain. The engine/trans came from a 2004 Silverado 2500 that was a repo vehicle. I was told that it runs/drives and has approximately 70k miles. The excitement got the best of me, and I bought some adapter plates/mounts and engine perches before doing much research, so it's been a bit of a hastle to get everything to fit. Long story short, I had to put the engine perches in the 6 cylinder location due to the adapter plates I was using. All was good until the headers didn't have clearance. Back to the drawing board to make some new adapter plates. These plates barely have the clearance to bolt to the block, but I think I'll be able to make it work. Finally got the headers mocked up and should be getting to the exhaust in the next few wks. Fuel system in a box and ready to be installed.
