I'm getting pretty good at swapping engines
Almost got the entire swap done today. If I hadnt of run into an issue of the valley cover bolts striping out and having to spend a couple hours on that I may have finished tonight. Luckily I got them out without damaging the cover and replaced all the bolts. Right now I have the 5.3 bolted up and just need to put the passenger exhaust back on and the accessories and im finished....and retune for the 5.3.
I am waiting until I get my 5.3 in and working before I tear down my 408. Hopefully I will be done with the 5.3 before lunch tomorrow which leaves me plenty of time. I did pull the plugs though and they look fine.
This is odd, rust colored dust on the flexplate bolts... couldnt find anything on the trans though...
