I am almost completely done with my motor swap. All I have left to do is tie up a couple of wires and get a new set of valve covers. I also decided to install a lift kit and put some bigger tires on it. I put new torsion keys in front and made my shackles for the back. I'm not sure how much of a lift I got because it was already lowered when I got it. But I did go about 5 inches higher than it was. I also got a set of 33" tires for really cheap, so I mounted them and put them on. I clear them no problem in the back, but do rub a little at full turn in front.
I will post pictures tomorrow after I get off work.

 

Hurry up and post those pics..

 

an update that signature!

 

Seems to me that you are going to have to trim a lot and do a body lift, because those are big tires to fit with not very much lift. Oh ya and some PICS!

 

Post some pics.

 

It looks and drives great.
As for the trimming to make the tires fit, it was minimal. All I had to do is trim a little bit off of the front valence (as seen in the last pic). They still rub on the frame at full lock, but I rarely turn that sharp.
I gave it a bath and took a couple of pictures for ya. I will post some of the engine bay tomorrow.

Man you said you did a little bit of trimming to clear the 33's....I didn't think you meant half the valence


Nice trucks though! Wanna come do my V8 swap now?
