"The wifes truck" 1994 K1500

[ETraugott]

My wife still has her first truck and honesly dont even think she would sell it for anything. She bought the truck from a family friend on payments. Its a 94 K1500 with a 4.3 V6 and 4l60E. The truck as of now has 278,000 miles and we were using it as a back up vehicle till it blew a heater hose. The motor was tired, leaked oil so i didnt even waste any time fixing the 4.3. It prob sat for 8 months and is now in its current situation. I decieded to go ahead and do a 5.3 swap. I got a complete 5.3 from a junkyard and found a 4l60E and transfercase out of a 2002 truck. I plan to keep slowly fixing the truck up so figurd i should start a thread to show the progression.

As of today i have the engine and trans in. The only real clearence issues i have is the a/c compressor. Holley makes a relocating bracket that i will be using. I am using the stock harness that I cleaned up. I used most all info and had computer programmed by brendan at lt1swaps.com. I am using the factory cats and y pipe from the donor truck. This truck wiil have to pass the "sniffer" test for emmissions so I left the cats on.
