🔧 BUILD Papas truck

[000martin]

I finally found the right forum for my little build. I posted it in the new member section also. Trying to do my small part to keep the forums alive.

Anyhow this is my pile of parts, a
1998 Silverado rcsb I got from a lifelong buddy. Used to be his granddads truck. Hence the name.

5.3/th350 swap
Sep 1000s and walboro 450
Stock return style regulator
-8 f -6 r
Stock gen3 intake and dbc
Terminator x
Snow meth kit

Bought some relays, busbar, 6gang switch panel and fuse block off Amazon. Ripped the top off one of my old Plano plastic tackle boxes and threw this relay board together.

also Added some 2” drop shackles, I just want it to sit level then stuff a 30x15 or equivalent wheel under it.

Gonna run a mini spool and weld up some homemade traction bars real soon. Just can’t let go of the $500 for caltracs. Even though they are badass lol

I had to downsize the rad from the factory 32” core to a 28x17” so I can clear the charge pipes. After that it’s just some finish wiring, mount the trans cooler and snag a driveshaft somewhere. I really hope this thing will run bottom 7s at our local 1/8th mile track

Running the summit 8720r1 cam with tfs springs, otherwise it’s an SBE. Never touched a head bolt.
