Re: 96' 383 build
those pics make it hard to tell, did you paint that black to match the rest of the van, or is it your honda green like the engine?

03 Chevy Silverado 2500HD, LB7 Duramax Diesel, 5 speed Allison Tranny, Crew Cab Long Bed, no muffler or cat, 4 inch turbo back and side piped. not too many other mods yet, also addicted to AMSOIL.

GnarliSafari-the engine bay matches the motor. the rest of the van is still the black.

Re: 96' 383 build
Update:
Saturday night me and danny accomplished a lot. We got the motor mounts to fit properly and we used the stock tranny for now so the motor was siting on the frame correctly. We got the two on the sub frame and we slid the craddle under the van. Lowered the shell on the new body cushins and bolted the two togeather. Also got some of the accessories on. Here ya go.

Re: 96' 383 build
here is a tip for you all.
I had to take the plugs out so the motor would turn over a bit easier. The back four plugs are hard to get out due to the headers are so tight. Here is what I did. Took a 1/2 drive short 5/8 socket and ground down two flat spots on the back of the socket so I could fit a 3/4 wrench on it . The 1/2 drive socket allows you to fit it over the whole plug and then you just brake lose the plug with the wrench. Thought I would share. Free tip for those who are watching.
