I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Wait until he drives it.
Don, I assume you mean a replacement engine build is starting? Surely you didn't just install headers, to remove heads
Who knows it may surprise me and be a good point to stop at...
Speaking of Tate... any update on the Tahoe?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Cam is purchased and on the way...Next quest: TBSS intake/injectors/TB
Note I just got from Joe Vinci, Vinci Cams:Don, 1. LS7 lifters & new lifter trays.2. Use the stock GM MLS head gaskets3. I would install a new GM factory timing set4. If you decide to change the oil pump I would use the Melling high volume pump, but make sure you use the correct oil pump tube seal. 5. I would not recommend using the the TBSS intake or throttle body. It will impede the low end performance of your vehicle. You would be better served installing a torque converter. So, search for TBSS is now over!Guess I'll go with the factory 78mm Throttle bodyHaven't really decided on the oil pump. I mean this engine has had mostly loafing highway miles, steady state where virtually no wear ever takes place.Torque converter??? Hmmm, Maybe
Finding a 14bt will be easy, finding one that fits a Sub will not. Most likely you will have to change all the mounts. I see head gaskets, you doing the heads now? I would do bolts too.
Not positive, but doubt the truck an SUV share the same frame. Fronts are same for sure.
Measure your stock rear end Don and I’ll give you measurements from my 2001 hdSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If you have the oil pump out, I would change it. They have a tendency to gaul the pressure release valve, which causes them to bypass pressure occasionally.
2001 to 2010 should be the same.Don't just discount the 9.5 though. They are a stout and have been used for Dmax conversions.

I have wheeled (Hard) on one before. Was stock in my Hummer H2. I remember hammering on it during a long hillclimb at an off road park. If it was going to break, it should have done so then.But choice for lockers is poor

I can see it now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Nice acquisition, Don! So, when do you start adding armor plate to the doors, body sides, windows, and windshield? How about a sunroof with foldout mini-gun CROWS system?

Shock mounts, spring pads also look to be exactly the same. Am I mistaken?Yes, getting ready to port the heads. Afterward I'll bolt them on and slap the cam in as well. Doing it all at once
