The mutt 95 Hardbody with 5.3 twin turbo - Page 2 - Infamous Nissan

I have always wanted to LS swap a hardbody as well, so I can't wait to see how it turns out. Life does get in the way from time to time but I do hope you manage to see it to completion. Subscribed!

I'll agree with that hopefully it will bust gas by the summer .

ls7 lifters ARP mains head studs hd head gaskets my guy is putting diesel rings in it heads rebuild as well with stiffer springs for boost it should hold 15lbs of boost only gonna be pushing 8lbs hopefully next time I post I'll have a run video

Still waiting to hear it run again but now it's got Audi TT intercoolers in the fenders the motors back from the machine shop just not enough time for him to get to it so waiting somewhat patiently

And I'm doing 5 lug swap not enough going on 8.8 /toyota

Looking good. FYI, since you are using the truck accessory set up, if you need more room for the radiator, the corvette setup is 1-9/16" closer to the block.

Dillon's radiator can build you a divorced filler neck aluminum radiator with the outlets where you need them. I opened my core support and put it inside the support. I run a first gen small block with vortec truck accessories. I could reinstall the condenser if I used the Corvette set up . Since the ls is shorter than a sbc, you should be able to get the ac working with no problem...

And I did the 8.8 and Toyota swap. I can verify it works...
