@@thousanddollarcarguy oh I know I will. I'm doing everything myself I even stage 1 ported my heads all new valves and seats. From what I have seen from Richard's ls posts with the truck intake and stock 70mm tb makes 425 +/- 5 hp. With the tbss and 92mm and s/e long tubes tb I'm hoping 450
@hollowpoint3188 i think the manual driveshaft is longer. Not positive tho. Go on rock auto and compare the auto 4l60e trucks driveshaft to the nv3500 one. If it's the same part number it will work
Sorry to say but it was parted out and sold almost a year ago. I used the funds to build a lot of other projects for both my car hobby and my house. We always have weird stuff going on. But most of it gets uploaded to the new channel Rustahaulic. Currently we have a duramax swappes 55 gmc 370 rcsb thats going on. I hope youll stick around. We may be doing another awd ls project very soon!
If I remember correctly is very very similar. I think the same fuse block But it has different harness bits for the new extra 2 cylinders like the coil pack harness
I had a 2000 Silverado 1500 4.8L 5 speed new, it was a fun truck for sure, great parts getter and kind on fuel
Exactly what I'm building cept my 03 is a sierra reg cab short bed. 5.3 truck norris cam. Tbss intake. Nv3500
Good deal. I hope you love it when its done!

Can the auto drive shaft work with a manual if you swap the slip yoke

Nice truck
I just found your channel because of the AWD Monte, any updates on that build?

@@thousanddollarcarguy I’ll definitely check them out, my kind of builds for sure
Is that the 4.3 stock transmission?
Yes i believe they are the same
Wait wait wait so you are telling me I can keep my vortec 4.3 transmission and just get a 5.3 vortec engine, and I will be fine no way
With getting a 5.3 ls the transmission hook ups from the 4.3 harness how would I connect those with the 5.3 wiring harness
Or do I even need it

NV2500? Or is this a AR5? What trans?
If it’s stock, it should be a nv3500
Nv3500 as Brandon Miller stated
how did you make the harness? or who did you send it too?
They come factory like that
I have that truck now
Like the exact pne?
@@thousanddollarcarguy I bought it off of Leon it’s a good truck
Bet you got rid of the flowmaster by now 😂 so restrictive
