4x4 5.0 swap with pics! - Page 12

They're from a 2007. They're not 100%bolt on but its easy to do. Check out the tech library under the exterior section i believe. Good write up on it. Essentially enlarge the holes on the door and place washers on the backside before you put your nuts on. I drilled my holes just have to get 5more bolts for the mirrors. My old ones went when i sold the flags.

this gives you an idea without the cap on:

jus curious and for future refrences, will the stock front end and rear end hold up to the power the 302 is gonna put out? or are you going to swap them also? just curious bc i thought about a swap in my 98.

Do a search in the V8 section. Your truck is a 98 so it doesnt have the TTB or TIB up front. As little as i use 4x4 mine will be fine and the rear has already been upgraded to a 31spline 8.8 which should be fine as well. I'll find out in time

what size coils?

ChrisR1S · 06-07-2010, 01:44 PM

Skyjacker 132sx leveling coils. So ~2"

ChrisR1S · 06-15-2010, 04:52 PM

Finally got around to picking these up..

Well I've been slackin' badly lately. No real progress really worth mentioning. Front lift brackets are all painted and on as well as the bracket for the superrunner steering. Pulled a set of Chevy leaves friday, need to get them cleaned up and grab some shackles and mount them up. Wheels have been ordered but are on backorder until about the middle of next month.

Also determined that L&L Headers will work with my bellhousing and slave setup. Should clear everything else but wont know till motor goes back in.

What do i need as far as a balancer for the 5.0? the block is a 1984-86 so assuming 50oz ? stock replacement or aftermarket? Im clueless. any advice is appreciated.

And a few pics as always:

And ignore the backwards bracket in the pic, i just slapped it on w/o paying attention
