[QUOTE="DMarts10, post: 2111, member: 302"] I recently bought a 2000 silvy 2500 with a snapped frame and no trans for 500 bucks. I planned on building a late 4th gen camaro with the lq4. After removing the 14 bolt rear with 4.10s, I changed my mind and decided on moving the 2500 drivetrain to a regular cab short bed v6 2wd stepside. I found one on craigslist and struck a deal to buy that very truck (formally an arizona truck) for 3k. I should be taking delivery this week if all goes to plan (I made the owner sign a contract, if that matters). I guess you never know with craigslist. In the meantime I have begun building the lq4 in a friends shop. I kept the bottom end stock, just cleaned out the sludge and carbon with brake clean and purple power. I purchased an ls2 timing set, melling hv pump, 224/ 224 comp cams cam, true union kit for the rockers, tsp pushrods, compcams beehive springs, ls6 intake, ls6 injectors, head bolts, gaskets, ect. I am using stock lifters and 706 heads, milled 30 thousandths (should bring me to around 10.7:1 compression). Still searching for a 4l80e out of an express van.
