Don’t think I haven’t thought about it.

Don’t think I haven’t thought about it.

If it is still available at $24,000 then you probably have your answers on that truck

If TLC did the swap, it must have been a long time ago. Looks like an old SBC swap and not up to their current standards.

I agree. Its obviously an old swap but I doubt TLC would swap in a used engine so probably early 2000s? Im sure you could call TLC and atleast get confirmation that they did the work.

While technically still an SBC, that's a 5.7 Vortec, right? If so, that's a great engine. Maybe I'll buy that 60...

I am In DFW now more than happy to look at it for anyone.

@fountainhead I think you're right. Isn't that the sort of hybrid they came out with in the trucks in '96, before the more current LS of current years?

Correct. '96 - '00. Last 'truck motor' prior to the switch to the LS based architecture. Also made an appearance in some of the land yachts (i.e. Chevy Caprices and Buick Roadmasters).

That’s a great motor. Early Vortec. Used in cars and trucks. The LT1 is of the same generation and was the Corvette motor. Also found in cop cars and a few bad ass pontiac sedans

The JttMF’nT vs JTttMF’nU race to get the 60 is awn!

I would love to see you with that 60! I like that rig!

Am I missing a vent hose on my dizzy cap? If so, where it it suppose to pipe to? Is it supposed to go into the cab like the other vent hose?

The small vent connects to the air cleaner, or maybe the tee in the PCV hose. It pulls in fresh air from the vent line to the cab.

My 60 got some center console radio love this weekend!

I got the heavy ass head off my block today. I got a real nice surprise that this block is a 4.4 already.

This is a pretty big deal. Hopefully they ground the cam while they were at it....

100% chance it’s a new Taiwanese stock profile cam.

Those that have replaced their charcoal canister with a VC120 or similar. What did you do with the 3rd hose on the top (not sure what it’s called what it goes to). It’s a smog part right? My smog is inactive so I just plugged the hose, any harm in that?
