Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Where did you score the smooth fuel rail covers? I want smooth ones to paint. Did you hydrodip that intake yourself? My intake had some damage I repaired and it needs cleaned so I'm thinking of hydrodipping it too. Last question, I see you have the LS1 plate on top of the intake. Is that for your EGR block off? I want one for my intake but my LS6 doesn't have an EGR so there is no way to attach it..

thanks

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

I got the smooth rail covers from Street & Performance in Arkansas. I had someone here locally dip my intake. And yes the plat is the egr block off also from Street & Performance.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Here's mine. 72 with a carbureted 6.0 LQ4 and 700R4 tranny.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

What kind of mileage are you getting with that setup?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

The best I've got so far was 14 mpg. The lowest was 8 mpg. Might get a little better once I get the carb tuned and if I keep my foot out of it.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Here's a couple updated pics of my LS3 with a TVS1900 Magnacharger.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

Sweet texasld. What headers did you use. Once you finish id love to check it out.I'm over in arlington area

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Thanks, Bud!

They are the Pacesetter Trail Blazer SS headers. Didn't have to trim a thing. Only issue is where they end is going to be fun for the piping of the exhaust. Kind of close to the tranny x-member.


Solving the problem is half the fun!

We will have to get together sometime.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Are those the DD VHX gauges? How do you like them? Work we'll with the LS setup?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Are they a kit you can buy to do this that has all the parts needed

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Yes. There awesome! The only way to do an LS setup IMHO...:metal:.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Is your trans housing ceramic coated? Looks tits!!!!!:metal:

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Good News. They are the only gauges I have found that I like for this project.

It's actually an aluminum colored rustoleum rattle can from O'Rellie's. Color turned out great and the can goes pretty far. Everything that is silver on the setup was done with one can and I still have some left. As always scrub-er-clean before you shoot!

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Nice truck. Take it you like LS swaps judging from your signature.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Haha yeah I do...the Impala and Camaro have been on the hotrod power tour the last few years with minimal mechanical issues and great gas mileage. They run good and make great power!

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Out with the old and in with the new!
LQ4/4L80E going in a 70 Suburban 4x4.
This has been an on going project for almost 3 years. It was really hard to cut off the brand new stainless exhaust to get this done. I liked all the horsepower of the big block. I hated the 6 mpg.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

I have to know what valve covers those are? They look great.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Thanks man.

They are the Proform LS valve covers. They have several colors. You also have to get some type of coil relocation bracket. I'm not a huge fan of the ones they sell. (Made to bolt to the intake side of the covers). I purchased some off of eBay that I'm going to hide somewhere in the frame rail. Check the last page of my build thread for the link and picture for the brackets I have. Make sure you are getting brackets for the truck coil packs if you are running a 4.8 or 5.3.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Shoved my LS2 back about 6 inches. It makes the weight distribution nice and makes room for the front axle to tuck up so I can keep the truck as low as possible. I'm getting 8 inches of compression and another 8 inches of droop with this setup.

I stripped a 2004 GMC Savana 2500. 4.8l with a 4l85E, the entire wiring harness, fule pump, steering column and dash cluster swapped into my 68 shortbed fleetside.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Got some time in on this swap. Thought I'd share.

It works out that if you cut the middle out of the factory 4x4 crossmember an LS drops right in. In fact, 1 bolt hole in the stock motor mount lines up with 1 of the LS motor mount bolt holes.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Doug Thorley headers fit great and don't hang below the frame. The only thing they hit was on the left side. At the farthest out side point it hit the edge of where the TC inspection cover bolts. I cut about 1/4" "knob" off that doesn't affect anything, and it fit.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Had to make the lower crossmember. I used 1" x .120 DOM and the outer pieces of the original crossmember. Fits great and clears the trans cooler lines.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Powder coated and installed.
