Royal Purple is a well know brand in the racing world, and "Amsoil" as well. I have a Harley V-rod and all the Vrod crazies love their Amsoil. I plan on running Royal Purple in my supercharged 6.0L.

I donno if longtube are a good idea since i will still be using it for towing. The 80e is in good working order, all I will be doing is gutting it to replace the output to a 4wd, and installing a transgo shift kit. Here is a pic of the pistons that will be going in...

Break it :D, then replace it with a stronger one

If you need a laser level for your house...buy one and set it up at the height you want and your set...assuming of course your truck is level

Yup she's got 160k and still running real strong surprisingly, considering it sees WOT a min of 3-5 times a day. When I make the swap I may rebuild the 5.3 with a turbo or something to throw in an old Camaro or GTO body... As another project way down the road...

Little rust from the cracked exhaust manifold and head, but it doesn't really matter since I am going with forged pistons and rods and having the cylinders bored to 4.010.

Here is what I have been doing with my free time since I picked this beast up around thanksgiving. I picked up this 6.0L 4L80e locally on ebay for $1,136. One of the headers was damaged from the accident the truck was in. I was able to find a replacement set of 317 heads on ebay, that have a...

I am just guting the 80 to get to the back to change the output shaft, then everything goes back in. It only has 68K and doesn't really need a rebuilt, but I will be installing a Transgo Shift Kit. Not sure on the cam yet, I want good hp and tq increases so I'm thinking a middle of the road one...

I know I haven't posted any progress on the interior yet but I've been super busy with work and fixing up my house. I did scrap the old center console and bought a 06 Escalade console I've started comtomizing to have a dock for my Ipod, touch screen monitor in the front and one in the rear to...

shave the door handles :D

Thank you, Yeah I wasn't even looking for an engine yet, entered 6.0 into the ebay search, and there it was, 10 mins from my work, exactly what I was going to look for in a couple months after my interior was done. Starting bid was $650 no reserve, I about sh*t myself. A couple jackasses jacked...
