Before we started to put the engine in I wanted to clean up under the hood really well. I also wanted to take this time to put new fuel lines in. The V8 Sierra and Silverado Fuel lines are different from the V6 lines. They say you have to remove the cab to replace the fuel line in a Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra but I was able to sneak them out. It was not easy but can be done. Now that the engine bay is all cleaned up hopefully we can start installing some parts.

Another good video Travis, there is a felt pad that goes between the battery and tray I use them on my cars they work. Keep truckin.

Thank you. It is better but not great

[@shaggman13]

I did the lines on my 98 short box it wasn't bad at but I ordered aftermarket stainless ones they had a few more connections haven't had an issue with any leaks at all so far its been 2 years

Maybe I should have made my own.

My Shortbed I bought from TN it's all original no rust at all super clean underneath but I have a 4.3 been watching ur vids for when I do my swap. I spent about 6 hrs cleaning under my hood when I got it home it was bad!!!! Still not 100% how I want it yet

You will get there little by little

[@frankm8533]

@@TWAMotorsports I wanna start painting my frame and whatever I can get to underneath not sure if I wanna use POR15 this time. I live in a Salt happy winter state so I want it protected long I can

[@TWAMotorsports]

Por15 is good stuff

[@luisdonjuan7029]

You should use sem trim black on your frame. It lays down real smooth

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you I will check that out.

[@chadcooper8682]

Really enjoy your videos and your channel. I am actually doing this right now to my 2000 NBS Silverado and bought the fuel line set as well to change over instead of cutting the V6 ones and fitting them to the V8 motor. I like your attention to detail on things and how you try to make every modification as clean as possible and done correct. Keep it up and keep the videos coming! Just to throw it out there, have you thought of doing a HD hydroboost swap on the Sierra while you have the motor out? I think it would go great with the brake upgrades you have done. We did it to mine and it was a pretty easy swap.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. I don't think I am doing the hydroboost but I have heard good things about it.

[@chadcooper8682]

TWA Motorsports yea I have as well. I can’t comment on it personally because my truck is completely tore apart in my shop being redone. I still have to run the new fuel lines so hopefully it’s easier with the motor, transmission, and bed being off. Keep up with the awesome content! Hopefully we will see some shop updates soon as well??

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thanks. Yeah with all that out of the way the fuel lines will be easier

[@boards65dilligaf20]

[@Martin_400ss]

I hope you get a new coolant jug to make the engine bay look cleaner. Maybe the master cylinder aswell but thats not too noticeable.

[@TWAMotorsports]

I actually am ordering one. Lol

[@shaggman13]

I honestly forgot about this truck lol been so long

[@TWAMotorsports]

Hasn't been that long lol

[@shaggman13]

Lol no not long I'm just impatient want to see the LS going in love that truck. Mines a 98 regular cab shortbox with a 5.0 in it all original has probably 70 thousands miles not sure i live in Canada so its in kilometers lol 170 thousand kilometers anyways but the fuel lines were rotted completely so I decided just buy the ready made one instead of trying to do all the bends and fittings myself it worked out I'm happy

[@TWAMotorsports]

Lol. I understand

[@jayceecombs6887]

"Particular," Knaw! Meticulous Sir T! It stands out... Right is Right, I for one appreciate it! BTW: How the shop coming? J

Thank you. Not going anywhere quickly on the shop. Rain then drought now rain again

[@jeremiahdeluna7546]

We’re you gonna do any bolt ons on the new engine? Hope to see a little cam on the truck! Keep up the great work brother, stay blessed.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Its getting a little cam.

That’s gonna sound good. That truck has done a whole change inside and out. Hope to see more videos on it and the duality.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. I hope so

Nice job Travis! I would hit a lot of that with Meguairs cleaner/wax to keep it nice and easier to clean next time. Hey how is the shop coming along?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. Shop is going slow. Like not much happening

[@lionelhulbert6660]

Is it really necessary to change the fuel line

very nice man, she is goin to be sweet! well shes already sweet but shes gonna sound the part when the transplant is done.

Thank you. Hopefully in the next month it will be together

[@Nbs_Adam07]

Do you know what other fuel lines will work, because these you link don’t pop up no more, I really want to swap my cateye this summer and I want to have everything ready

[@TWAMotorsports]

Cateye would be a different set because they don't have a return. Should be able to get from local parts store or gm

[@ShawnColdren]

If I'm correct your truck is a two wheel drive I was wondering what engine brackets did you use to do the V8 swap do you know the part numbers because I'm not sure how to get the right brackets

[@TWAMotorsports]

I used 2wd brackets out of my donor truck. Not sure you can order them.

currently doing a swap on my Silverado 4.3 to a 5.3 and i wanna know if i need to change out the fuel lines or could i use a adapter and if so could you please give me a link, been trying to find info on this.

Have to make lines or swap to v8 set like I did

[@Abdulrahman_M]

What would I need if I wanted to use the v6 lines on the v8? Is there like any kits or solutions online to do that?

[@TWAMotorsports]

No kits. You have to make lines for v6 to V8 attachments

[@aihobbies1350]

Wondering if anyone knows a quick connect adapter for 5/16 to 3/8 without swapping line or using AN fittings? (06 returnless style)

[@TWAMotorsports]

I believe earls makes them.

[@Mrbootyclapper69]

Do the fuel lines fit a 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 short bed

[@TWAMotorsports]

No. 99-02

[@luismiguelperez7964]

Do those lines you used fit a gmc 2006 single cab

[@TWAMotorsports]

I don't think they are the same for that year.

[@lionelhulbert6660]

So tell me why you had to change the fuel line, what are the difference

[@TWAMotorsports]

Because the 4.3 uses different lines and attachment points.

Cannot see what sort of v8 mods you are gonna throw in. I've thought about the fuel pump too. I'll be shooting for 450 whp so... Guess the bed comes off again. Have you given any consideration to raising the gas tank?
