It's not that big of a vehicle... It's smaller than a new Dodge Charger.Both I guess. Tis a big truckWhat's the fuel mileage like on one of those things?The LS6 or the current engine I have? The stock 350 or the LS6?

The 350 that it has gets about 20-25. 17 city, 25 highway.
LS6, depending on how I build it up... will be around the same unless I do dual turbo.
Fuck mate, you're stripping the paint too?! Kudos for the commitment :)Well... it had like 8 layers of shitty baby puke green paint on it... and it was horribly sprayed on the last paint job. Idk who did the paint on this thing before I bought it... but my lord it is bad. Not to mention, if you take it down to the metal and do a clear coat over a shiny primer, it will make the paint have a higher gloss look. Also, it will stick better.
Just for ease sake:

Make sure you remove any chemicals that might be deep inside the metal. I had the engine resprayed on my motorbike and the guy had to remove two coats and it's still fucked. When I next get the engine off I might just remove all of the paint and just put a metallic protective coat on.Well, I know what you mean. but I won't have that problem. Making sure of that. And as for the time line... when the paint is done, in a weeks. I will be doing the engine and more things. So probably, over all... 5 years.
How long do you think this project will take you?
