I know I could reuse the sand, but it took to long to screen it, so I just bought more....my time is worth more than the cost of a bag of sand.
I did make a deal on a 5.3L engine yesterday, basically the long block. Then I found a harness and computer.
Still going to need an intake, throttle body, and maf. I also started researching wire harness modifications. The harnesses (2 of them) are for throttle by wire throttle bodyies, but I think I'm going to switch to a regular cable actuated, so I'll have to do some wiring and programing mods.
Oh, and then I was reading about boring the 5.3L out to 5.7L. I'll probably do that once I get the truck on the road. I'll get it all running and trouble shoot with it in its stock configuration, then pull the engine back out for modifications
