Re: Dug's 1959 Fleetside
Quick update. My friend Brad offered to loan me an LS engine and transmission while he searches for a low mile version for me. Picked them up last night. This one has 121,000 miles and is out of a 2005 Truck. I need to learn about intake heights on these LS engines. This one seems really tall and may interfere. Should be able to drop this combo in the truck this weekend to determine if the hood will close over it in the stock mounting location. If it doesn't, I may have to raise the body and ultimately add lower suspension parts to get the stance right. I will drop by the dealer to see if they have some Trailblazer V-8 motor mounts for the 5.3 I can try out.
