I've been scrounging to get the caprice done enough to get the garage opened up to start parting some stuff. I haven't found a LS motor for the 72 that I can afford. So I been searching for an lm7 (standard truck 5.3). That I could continue my build, it's been idle for a year.
As luck would have it Today I found a complete truck (minus wheels). 2000 5.3 4x4 z71 loaded, leather, x cab. $1000.
It's rusty, and not roadable. Going to part it. Save what I need and sell the rest. Maybe I'll come out ahead.
Buddy had it, told me to come get it when the snow melts. It's a long hike 3 hours one way, but I think it's a great find for my 72 project.
And when I find/afford the L33 ill put this motor in my 95 caprice.
And all this on a full moon Friday.
