Start to Finish Turbo Big Block Silverado Build

Thanks for 40k subscribers!!! I've been meaning to make a start to finish build of my 2000 Silverado for a long time, and here it is. UglyTruck is a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Extended Cab 2wd which started out with a 5.3 LS engine and 4l60 transmission, and over the last year we lowered the suspension, swapped in an 8.1 big block, added a 4l80e transmission, and finally turbocharged it. This project took about a year so far, and we're not done yet! There are many reasons I wanted to do a turbo big block, and chief among those was the massive amount of torque available at lower RPM's and the fact that the nearly 500 cubic inch engine has no problem spooling the massive 80mm turbo. Just like they say, there's no replacement for displacement. The GMT800 Silverado has always been my favorite generation of Chevy, so I'm happy to be able to work on this silverado.
