Sunday was the day that the engine swap was on the way!

So here are the pics

First things first, Reclaim the AC

The old tired 5.0 SO

on its way out

The 5.0 HO looking for a new home

The unforseen problems and fixes

Just getting settled into it's new home

And finally the first start and run.

flowmasters bolted right to a offroad H pipe.

Today I put in 2 new Highflow cats and some temporary rusty tailpipes.
