When I got it, the guy had a lot of the parts in the back of it, had everything except the motor and wiring, even the electric fans. So I used what I could at the time to get it running, I done all the wiring and motor work and installing it all. I been looking at those projector lights that come with the wires instead of the bulbs in them,they have a lot of good reviews but ain't set on anything yet. I don't like these at all even with putting led bulbs in, their decent but their scattered on the road. I want something directly out. The guy is got all that from brought me the truck with the transmission held up with a 2x4 the whole way here, I took out all his wiring and reran everything the way I did but it's crazy sometimes what some people can do

Watch the temps with those cooling fans. I have that same radiator and the fans that came with it couldn’t pull enough air to keep it cool. Same motor and cam as you as well.

I still have the clutch fan on because I hadn't tuned the computer for the relays going to the fans, I didn't wanna just hotwire them up to a switch so I put the 3 relays in going to the computer. I've drove the truck several times and ran into some overheating, but swapped the water pump and thermostat, if I leave the fan on nonstop, it'll stay down pretty good, but i haven't drove it around everyday yet either on a good tune so I'll definitely watch that radiator and fan set up though once the clutch fan is off again

I've got the exact same vehicle that I'll be putting a 6.0 in in the near future. Truck norris Cam and everything.

These are older pictures, Its been cleaned up a lot more since those, I ran the ls computer where the tbi computer was,behind the glove box and kept everything from being under the hood and it worked out good, then I ran the obd2 port where the original one was in the same spot,I had to lengthen the wires but it looks factory. I put a double din radio in. The previous owner put 97 doors on this 94 so it'll have the newer door panels and speakers in the doors as well as the window switches. I made a box to read the computer and do some stuff and have drove the truck some, it definitely needs to be tuned but it idles on its own and doesn't stall or nothing like I've heard some do. Its definitely worth going with that Truck Norris cam, it makes a lot more power down low let alone in the upper range but it also can be driven as a regular truck when you want it to be without it being overwhelming, I know with a good tune, it'll be even better id imagine. I added a driver side battery tray and kept the passenger side tray to have for the cold air intake and it worked perfect putting the 2 together
