I am not sure if it would or not. My assumption would be that it would. GM is usually pretty good about using the same parts for multiple vehicles. I don't see why they would change it from one engine to another in the same vehicle. But I could be wrong, have been before about things I've been...

Not looking like all the parts will be here this weekend. Everything I ordered on Monday will be here, but a couple things I have been working on getting ordered since last weekend are going extremely slow for some reason. I'm not even sure when they will eventually get sent out my way as I've...

That one is for the truck, I need one for a van. Since I am running the centermount, the factory dipstick will hit the up pipe. Since the vans come with a centermount setup, the dipstick tube will be designed to clear the factory up pipe, which hopefully means it would clean mine...and also...

I didn't see one one there, I will check again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

More updates. I got "most" of my stuff ordered to finish this thing up. I forgot about the block heater, so I ordered it today. I also ordered a new exhaust flange for the turbo, some 3" piping and a v band clamp and flanges. As mentioned, I got everything figured out with Leroy on the oil drain...

I had considered doing something with the valve cover. I didn't think about just using a passenger side one, that would have been pretty simple to do. I also thought about doing something with the pump drive, but I was thinking about trying to modify the one I already have. Considering both of...

I do not, been considering one to use as the intake for the turbo. But it should have plenty of room without one. It might be pretty tight on a stock truck, but with my 3" body lift it *should* have plenty of room. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I also forgot to mention that I am most likely going back to the stock upper intake instead of the one I made for the intercooler. The way the turbo sits now, I'll be running the intercooler opposite of how I did before. The turbo will be feeding the intercooler from the driver side and then the...

One other thing I figured I would share since I've shared everything else with this build. It was stupid and careless on my part, but it was a lesson learned. Remember those pictures of my kids "helping" with the engine? Well, I forgot that I hadn't installed the crank sensor yet. I figured...

Updates! Exhaust manifolds are both bolted down, all the glow plug wiring is done, crank sensor is in and I was able to bolt the intake and all the centermount turbo pieces up to check everything. Two things I am changing from factory: 1) I am going to run the oil feed line from the valley...

I'm glad it didn't seem to bother most of you, just wanted to clear the air either way. My all thread showed up today so hopefully I can finish the passenger side manifold and do a final test fit with everything. Since I have the old engine now, I pulled the turbo and everything off of it...

Interested! We don't have the year round heat as Texas or you have, but we can get pretty hot here in good old Ohio. And with the setup I will be running and for what I use my truck for, this may be the perfect upgrade for my cooking system. I'm also interested in this griffin radiator. Where...

So the other night I started rereading this thread from the beginning. I started out looking for a picture but ended up skimming through everything just to kind of see what all we've talked about and how things have progressed over the last TWO YEARS lol. Anyway, while reading some of the...

The manifolds are from a factory centermount setup. But the up pipes are garbage for those (they are sheet metal thin) and I would have to fab my own turbo flange and adapter to the up pipes, so I figured I would just make an entire new up pipe setup rather than trying to use the useless factory...

I originally was going to build my own manifolds from the hummer headers, but lack of time and my welding skills, or lack of welding skills, forced me to go this route. I wasn't happy with anything I was coming up with on them and I was tired of cutting and rewelding. And I figured it would be...

We've used rtv on virtually all exhaust manifolds since I worked at an exhaust shop. I've yet to have a rtv seal fail in a manifold/header. I actually had an exhaust leak on the manifold on my old engine where the gasket blew out. I took rtv and a small pick and pushed the rtv into the hole, let...

3)I installed the oil cooler lines, I have the pump set in place and half the injectors installed. After I pulled the injectors, I decided to pull the head on the old engine to see if I could see any damage. I thought maybe the piston could have come apart where I have the valve spring break and...

2)Apparently I have more time than the person that was going to pull my engine. He never did it and I've freed up some time, so I went and got the truck and pulled the engine on the 4th. Other than having a hoist that lost a wheel and having the engine and hoist almost fall on me with the engine...

So some more updates. 1)The centermount setup is about 98% done. I needed more all thread and apparently no one sells metric all thread. So to eBay I went. I am using all thread to make studs for the manifolds. I didn't have enough to do both sides, so I am waiting on the other piece to do the...
