I just started the engine and the fan sucks so much air that paper gets stuck on the grile , it works excellent but will se how it will be when everything gets hot

Did you have to do anything for front driveshaft to trans pan clearance?

I replaced transmission oil pan and no problems with clearance i also replaced engine oil pan with 1998 camaro pan

Where did all your pics go?

don't know , maybe got blocked by forum

Did you flip all the shifter stuff to the drivers side or just flip the bends for the 4l60 stuff?
How did you flip it? Heat and a hammer?

 

[ajordan1975]

Oh and what cable did you use?

edit. Never mind. I see it was a trail blazer cable.

Was it a standard pan? I see on Oreilleys a bunch but all are 6.75" height. Thanks!

Swap looks great, it should go well with that aluminum block chev motor. Keep it up you’ll be tuning it in no time

it is cast block i believe it was last year for cast blocks on 5.3
this motor has plenty power for what i use my land cruiser i go to remote areas and far from home my build is geared toward reliability

my new addition
before i was using power steering cooler from ford f150 , but i wanted more cooling surface and more oil , so i come up with this idea.
i m using hose hook up from ford f150 cooler it must be cut off , and new cooler is of Volvo xc90
all i did solder tubes to Volvo cooler and it fits perfect in between Toyota frame
