Just picked up a Vortec 5.3!

I just picked up a 2005 5.3 Vortec out of a 2005 Yukon/Sierra. Actually it is going into my 58 Chevy streetrod project. I have included some pics and as you can see it is pretty complete. I have picked up the book "how to install an LS engine into almost anything" and since I had already pre-fitted my 58 for a V-8 I should do well as there are lots of adapters and know how for these more modern engines to place in a classic car...Wish me luck!

Good luck. You live out there near five7kid. Look him up. He's a regular guru on the LSx stuff.
