X2 looks sweet buddy. things are coming together real nice!!

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

OOOOOH, shiney! Lookin good.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Looks great! If you don't mind me asking what did that whole setup cost. Just trying to compare with a couple of options that are out there.

If you don't want to post it for some reason please PM me.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

No problem Alien the polished wide style A/C kit was $736
the rear exit hoses option was additional $50 so total was $786

NOTE: the PS pulley was extra not part of the A/C kit that one was $120

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Thanks. I may have to relocate my AC compressor on my swap and just looking at options. There are some options that are a few hundred dollars and use your original comp to whole accessory set ups that run $2500-3000. Thanks for the pics and info!

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

thanks for the info! alien, what other options are out there?? please pm or even post up in my build for others:)

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

I will but be patient with me LOL. I have about 100 pages bookmarked and 10-20 different folders all related to my/an LS swap. All unorganised at the moment. AC is way down on my list right now as I am having crossmember issues (I think resolved) with putting a 5.3 into my stock height 4X4 72 Jimmy. I will have my factory AC hooked up to the LS engine somehow but that is as I said way down my list at the moment. If I haven't posted anything within a week please PM me a reminder. I have a couple of different options bookmarked.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

All right here are 2. There is another inexpensive one that uses the pancake style compressor but I can't find that link right now. If and when I do I will add it.


THE EXPENSIVE ONES BUT???


A LESS EXOENSIVE SOLUTION BUT USES AN EXPENSIVE SANDEN COMPRESSOR


AND HERE IS THE THIRD OPTION

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

thanks for the links very helpful

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

x 2...........thanks

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Nice!

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

right on man! thank you big time!! i'm just relieved to see other options out there besides the fancy s&p brackets.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Me too, I would like to design a set of brackets for mine to use the compressor that came with it.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

These trucks look so good in white, I almost wish I woulda painted mine white.

Truck's lookin good man, should be killer when you get that LS1 in there.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

thanks, after I finish the swap I will concentrate on the body and paint and ulpostery. Luckily it has very few rust spots. After a few sleep less nights I finally settled on Jetstream Blue Metallic PPG code 512Q, to compliment the paint color I plan on doing a 2 tone interior with blue and white.

more samples

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

That's an awesome color, and the two tone interior will look sweet!

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

nice color combo!!!

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Update, Im currently waiting on parts. Need the A/C compressor billet cover, spark plugs, air intake, intake filters, and thermostat housing. I will be replacing it with a CSR straight up and a 160' thermostat. Also waiting on my fuel rail covers. Trying to compliment the engine compartment with some blue wherever i can.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

I love the finned look on those. That is sweet!

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Check this out..........That is not going to work, Please pick a more "family friendly" avatar.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

update
Next up i will be installing power lock actuators (key less entry) and alarm system with remote start.

parts:

alarm Viper 5901
2- actuators
2- 5 wire relays
wire

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

I will post more pics after i finish the alarm install.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

If you can get your hands on 5 wire relays on the cheap and would like to go that route, this is how to wire it up. the benefit of this method is when one wire is energized the other will remain ground, and vice versa. this means you only need 2 relays instead of 4.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Dude! Don't know if that avatar will fly?

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Update- still waiting on parts but i finished up the alarm and door lock actuators. I also installed a hood pin switch that triggers alarm, here are a few pics.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Cool progress!

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Fine looking alarm system!

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

that is cool!
care to elaborate on it? brand? is it vehicle specific?

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

No problem this is the Viper model 5901 for vehicles and it comes with two remotes one is like a pager so it vibrates and it displays different things, it has a onboard lithium-ion rechargeable battery with mini-USB for recharging

In remote start mode, if Active Temp Check is selected, Responder LC3 will display Temperature (in either Fahrenheit or Celsius) instead of the time (the default display). Now you can see the actual temperature inside the vehicle, before walking through the weather to get to it! If it isn’t warm enough inside your car yet, use Runtime Reset to extend your runtime. Don’t worry about forgetting about your car – Responder LC3 reminds you 3 minutes before your time runs out, with an audible tone, a vibration, and on the screen.

If anything happens to your vehicle, it notifies you right away if you are within range, playing the Revenger siren tones from inside your pocket. If anything has happened to your vehicle during your absence, LC3 spells out what happened Shock Sensor, hood open, door open for example.

Control Center – combines the Status LED and Valet Switch with the 2-way Antenna, making the switch easy to locate, and eliminating drilling of any holes in the dash

# of Remotes 1 Responder LC3 2-Way and 1 5-button 1-Way
Range Up to 1 Mile
Security Yes
Remote Start Yes
Keyless Entry Yes
SmartStart Compatible Yes
Encryption SuperCode™
Domelight Supervision Yes
Stinger DoubleGuard Shock Sensor Yes
Neo Revenger 6-Tone Siren Yes
Failsafe Starter Kill Yes
Anti-Carjacking (VRS) No
Guaranteed Protection Plan (GPP) Yes
Auxiliary Channels for Optional Functions 4
Remote Control Trunk Pop Yes

Auxiliary Channels for Optional Functions 4

Cool thing is that u can do pretty much anything with the auxiliary channels such as roll up roll down windows pop doors open if u have shaved door handles, control youre air bags pretty much anything you want.

I highly recommend this alarm system to anyone.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

I like this build. Your truck is going to be wicked :devil: I need to get a good alarm for my 79 GMC. I will be checking into this one. I like the remote start option and all the remote functions. How is your LS build coming? Will be pulling my old engine this weekend getting ready for my 6.0l swap. :smoke:

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
