sample pic

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

ive heard they hold great when used with the right high psi hose clamps. not those pictured:lol: the screw type.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

I did not know that. Out of the 100+ LS6/LS2s ive seen/worked on they all had a 243 casting number. are the heads production? Or a GMPP part?

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

I recently bought the mastercool hydraulic flaring tool. It is "THE" flaring tool! The only flare die it doesn't have is the 37 degree and I "may" add it. I bought it just for the GM pushloc flare, everything else is a bonus. Anyone can make a good flare with that tool! It can be found for just under $300 if you look.

so i did some research on the net, and i think im finding that the 799 was a pre production ls6 head, and the 243 replaced them, but im also seeing some 06 corvettes with the 799 heads as well??

Casting number 799 is also an LS2 head. Came on some late 06 and up tbss and other LS2 vehicles. These are the mexico cast heads. Little rougher finish. Same basic head and flow though.

i got them from a wreck 2001 tahoe your engine being from a camaro? why not look a the fuel lines from that?? i did some slight rebending but it followed down the back of the engine on the transmission across to the chassis rair down to the tank where i modified it to suit my 78 job done im sure the camaro lines have a similar setup

I'm not a big fan of Airtex or Carter Fuel pumps. I would have grabbed a Delco. They just seem to out last the rest.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

You may already know but you need different clamps and high pressure hose between the pump and sender, The low pressure hose will blow or the plastic clamps will give, causing a major fuel leak inside the tank.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

x2............change to high pressure hose and plastic to stainless clamps

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

thanks for the input will upgrade the clamps

the motor mount plates are from S&P, allows you to bolt LS-1 to original V-8 motor mounts

Looking Good!

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Keep it cool, so i got my electric fan today and I just finished mounting it. The fan is from Jegs its their dual 12'' S-blade reversible but im going to run it as a puller, sweet fan it eavan had a rubber type cushion. For the wiring i used the Perma Cool's adjustable prope type Kit. Dual fans require a 30 Amp relay sold separately, 160°F - 210°F "Vari-Cool" adjustable electronic fan control. To mount it i used Perma Cool's metal strap kit, had to bend to custom fit.

I apologize for the deleted double posts, my thread got moved and caused double posts

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Very cool build i keep debating on putting the ls into my truck as well. I was at half off sale a few months ago and saw a ls motor out of a camaro getting wheeled up to the cash register. I was sick to my stomach.....if only i was there earlier.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

This is how it sits now, after the swap the front will rise about 2" +or- due to the lighter aluminum block. I will have to adjust the front suspension to have it sit like this again.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

I am using F-body Rad and double fans, only 1 fan ever runs, it keeps it as cool as I want it. I have the first one on at 210 and it gets up there and cools right down, had it at 180 but it stayed on alot and it is consistantly at 194 while driving around.

I am also using fuel injection rubber lines every where.

I used transdapt plates like the S&Ps and poly stock style motor mounts with the stock mounts on the frame side.

The new power will be fun!!!!

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
