Default New from Miami, FL

Hey guys, new here from Miami,FL. Currently have my 1995 Chevy Silverado with a TBI 350 that I just recently blew up. Going big by swapping in a turbo 6.0/4L80E combo. I already have the engine which is an 06 LQ4 with only 9800 miles on it. Gonna tear it down for new gaskets, Z06 cam/springs, LS6 valley cover, upgrade oil pump, upgrade timing chain, ARP head and rod bolts, and some headwork. Im a little new to LSx engines as I see you can swap parts between different LS engines. A little confusing to me so any tips on which parts will work and/or which parts are better will be greatly appreciated. Anyways everyone loves pictures.




Old. TBI 350 with 135k miles. Gonna rebuild it and put it in my 93 Sonoma


New. 2006 LQ4 with only 9800 miles out of a burned county truck.

Sweet truck man, but I noticed the intake on your 6.0 is from a 99-01 truck... did you buy that separate?
