That 4.6 is making a lot of extra work!
Maybe he should'a used a 348?? :LOL::LOL::LOL:
Nice metal work for sure!

Thanks Ryan.
That barb was intended for Seth. (53Chevy 5)
He had assembled a gorgeous pickemup and then decided he didn't like the 348... so then he pulls the motor and does an LS I believe. I couldn't believe it!
All that fresh paint!! But he pulled it off and did the swap and you can't tell!
I think it was Roger who mentioned putting the 348 in my 82 Z28 also :LOL::LOL: The difference is the 4.6 is still a good motor, Maybe the 348 is too but not for me.:( He's right on the motor swap, a decision had to be mad fast and it well well. One scratch of paint in the engine compartment was the only damage. It was still the best thing I did to the pickup. I was pretty green on the Ls motors at the time and I thought the LS1 was the 5.3, they are not so I have a 5.3, not an LS1.
Working away. Filling in the spare tire tube had to move the trunk floor over the axle back 6" for a crossmember to support the coil over springs.Attachment 69788 Attachment 69789 Attachment 69790 Attachment 69791: DAttachment 69792
Awesome work! How did you match that floor pattern on your filler piece?
