Great job! Looks very nice!

Very nice dude! So, everything inside is working? A/C, Cruise, etc? Love the stock interior. We need to hear that exhaust on the vid.

Everything works other than the CC Im still yet to tackle that but who needs CC

Onj a side note, I love how you took the front bumper and reworked it. It caught my eye and then I realized it was a good remodel of the existing bumper..are the side wings still the OE plastic but trimmed down or did you work in some metal?

Just trimmed up the plastic sides. Trimmed makes approach angles much better.. Thinking about integrating a winch in the middle and tie it into the bumper.

I so need that in my truck. Hmmmm....... BMW F800GS motorcycle or V8 ......... Hmmmmmmm. Very nice work.

It looks so stock!! Great Job!!!! How hard would it be to integrate the CC?

 

[RockJock82]

That's the next thing for me to figure out. Shouldn't be too hard... Only reason my CC isn't working is because I never use it. Keep you updated

RockJock,

I realize that you have a life and a full time job while doing this swap but can you tabulate how many actual hours it took for this conversion?

My wife could probably answer this

Simply fantastic job! How long is your waiting list?

 

[alia176]

Tell you what, GM sure puts a lot of plastic on top of their engines. It's hard to see the V8 goodness!!

Really isn't much needed other then motor mounts since the stock cross member is retained. I use dirty dingo engine mounts.

which one of those "dirty dingo" truck mounts did you use rockjock82?

 

[RockJock82]

I used the hot rod mounts I think that's what they are called. I'm going to try and get in touch with them to make some for the dimensions of the 80 frames.
