Thanks for the help on the oil pan, I'll have to look into it. Well I got some more work done today. I got the pass side suspension together, drivers side needs a lower ball joint and one new u-bolt and then I'll finally be done with the front suspension. I was also able to order new engine mounts today, so hopefully next weekend I can get the driver's side suspension done as well as an engine sitting in its correct place. I also decided that I'm going to paint the engine so I am in the process of cleaning it up also.

Sorry for the pictures being blurry. But my engine mounts and adapters came in this week so my goals this weekend are to get the front suspension completely back together, get the rear springs on, sandblast the rear, paint the engine, and hopefully mock up the engine although I'm thinking that it wont fit with the tbss oil pan. I should have more pictures up after this weekend.

Well I got some work done this weekend. I didn't get to the rear like I wanted to, but I got all the front suspension back together and sitting on the ground. I got the steering box cleaned up and put back on along with some steering parts. I just replaced the tie rods over the summer and both the inner tie rod "dust covers" had ripped so I guess I will need to replace them before getting the steering done. I also got the rear leaf springs cleaned up and painted and put on the truck. I got the adapter plates as well as new mounts on the truck. I also got the engine painted and ready to go. Also cleaned up and painted the exhaust manifolds. Just need to get a new oil pan and the engine should be able to go in the truck.

Re: 1982 C10 swb "SS"

Well didn't get that much work done this weekend. I got the rear suspension put back together, for right now I'm going to stick with the 10 bolt. I think it might have 3.07 gears. I have a 12 bolt from a truck that I'm going to build to put in, so I didnt feel like cleaning or messing with the 10 bolt. I also got some engine parts painted. I decided to paint the accessories with header paint. I dont know whether I like it or not. You can see in the pictures but It's basically ceramic paint and is like a flat black. I also ordered a bunch of parts yesterday so this weekend should be really busy.

Re: 1982 C10 swb "SS"

A heads up on the tailswap swap, the entire trans has to be taken apart to get to it. an you will need a speed sensor and reluctor gear. i did this to my 4L80E as it came from a 4x4 silverado.
it MAY be different on yours i dont know, but here is a good source of info on it http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/automa...-4x2-help.html
and http://www.transmissionpartsusa.com/ was the only place i found that sold the reluctor gear individually. just DO NOT buy your rebuild kit their. they screwed me on that. (sent the wrong one (a cheaper kit for the 91-96 trans) and wouldnt take the item back because i opened it. which i understand IF it were the right damn part.) and i ended up getting the kit locally for over $110 cheaper. but hope this helps!!

Thanks for the info. I still have not decide on anything with the transmission. I still can't decide whether I should sell it and buy a 2wd 4l80e or trade. I guess I would really like trading for a 4l70e 2wd but I don't think that will ever happen. I would eventually like to put l92 heads and ls3 intake on it so I think I might be better off just getting a 4l80e but the 4l70e is a sport package basically so it already has a shift kit in it. So I guess I'm still just looking for options and opinions.

Wish I would've come across your post sooner then. I found that one in a google search when I was searching for my pan. And try www.rockauto.com for other parts and search the net for dicount coupon codes too. I've saved tons on parts from those guys.

Thanks, I should have thought about that too, but I got most of my parts from rockauto so far, and they have the cheapest prices I've seen for many parts.

Re: 1982 C10 swb "SS"

How many miles did your engine hav when you bought it? I did the same swap but I tore mine down to the block and cammed it and put arp bolts on mostly everything. I also ran the same pan as the one he recommended because the stock ones hang lower then the crossmember. Mine is also bagged so I had to go with the lower pan or else I would be hitting the pan layed out. Engine looks brand new! good job.

I was told there was 45,000 miles on the engine. I guess I can never be certain of that, but everything looked good on the inside. I was going to tear it down and put l92 heads, ls3 intake, and a cam in it, but I decided I wanted to get everything working and running before I decided to do that. It's funny, the oil pan off an awd is backwards of normal oil pans, I wonder where there crossmember is. The engine didn't start off that clean, because I think it sat outside for a little, but nothing a lot of cleaning can't fix lol

Well I got a little done last weekend, just haven't had time to get things posted. All my parts I ordered came in so it's just putting everything together. The engine doesnt mount right now though. I think with the swaptech kit they are asking to use different shells than I have so I still have to email them and ask about it.

Got an '87 gas tank, got painted and ready to bolt up

Well haven't made much progress lately, but did get a few things done. Big thanks to bluex for sending me the rear cab mount. I got it mounted and painted. Also got the brake lines ran and finished up as well as the gas tank and sending unit all in place. Still have to fix my engine mounting problem as well as get the transmission swapped from awd to 2wd. Batteries were dead in the camera today, but did take two crappy cellphone pics.
