Yes, it runs well. I'll be posting up in the classifieds probably tomorrow. Smog pump will probably go separately since it's OEM and was purchased and installed brand new only a couple years ago.....
OK cleaned it up a little...

Awesome Project. If You Have Some Extra Money When The Project Is Done, Look Into A Magnus Supercharger. I Have Installed Them On 6.0's And 5.3's And 1 4.8. Holy Cow. You Want Some Bottom End Torque That Is Extremely Driveable This Is The Best Supercharger On The Market For A Vortec Motor. Magnus Will Actually Give You A 3 Year 36k Warranty On The Motor For And Extra $300. About 6k Installed. 4100 For Kit.n Just A Suggestion.
I would!! I have always liked the chargers. Put one on my 454. Big torque mean sound and just looks GOOD!

HA! this conversion is taking all my "extra money"!! Besides, I'm not THAT power hungry.....I'm just super pleased with the blue bling!
Needs hose wraps now
Now all you need is a dress up kit in stainless and blue for the hoses. Gotta make it match.

Just curious what the total price tag is going to be to have this conversion done. Parts and labor
It is pretty hard to argue against putting a small block Chevy V-8 in anything on wheels. It is just about the best reciprocating fossil fuel burning engine ever made.
If you going to spend much time on pavement that V-8 is a real treat.
Good luck with the installation.

I'll post that up when we're all said and done. The many options you have to do this kind of conversion can really affect price. What engine you choose, what shape it's in, what adapters you choose, tranny choice, wiring, etc..... I ended up ballooning my total cost by $1600 when I decided it was time to put in a new H55. So far though, the big ticket items have been:
Used 2002 Vortec--$1100
Downey Adapters and misc -- $1200
Wiring\ECu reprogram (custom built wiring from scratch) $1000
H55 Tranny -- $1600
OMG, I truly did not need to see all that in writing!!!
What about labor ?
Just curious, I had a V8 and the same tranny put in my FJ60 and was wondering how much other people spent doing it. I had a small block Chevy, 5.7 that was new, smoged for the peoples republic of CA and it ran 17K. It does run really nice though.

labor can kill a budget, but good work costs...
mine (my labor, so parts only) cost me around $6600.00 (good/quality)labor could easily double that, easy. I scrimped whenever possible, so it could be more, could be less.
