LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

I'm in the process of doing a swap. Ls1 from a 98 Camaro into a 1973 Chevy truck s/wheelbase.

No heater or A/C unit

Transmition: 4L60E

Strage center section with 4.11 gears

Rear suspension : 4 link from ridetech with ridetech adj. coilovers

Exhaust: dual, headers from Street & Performance 2 1/2" collectors, Hooker aero chamber mufflers, on 2 1/2" pipes, stainless tips from Cherry Bomb

Radiator: Griffin aluminum with trans cooler, in/out water lines on passenger side. Trans cooler lines on driver side.

Gas Tank: I will be running only 1 16 gallon tank from a 87 with in tank fuel pump, reason for upgrade is for the in tank baffles so the engine wont starv.

Any recommendations on the electric fan? i think I'm gonna go with the Jegs single 16" S-Blade 2200 CFM puller. The engine and tranny had 70K+ miles.

i'm planning on the same radiator... but i gotta look into this. http://hotrodlane.cc/77chevytruck/77chevy.htm

apparently you can order the fans to go with the radiator.

btw, (if you dont mind) how much did the radiator alone set ya back?

here's a couple more options too...

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

he said it has ls6 heads

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

There not LS6 heads either. LS6 heads have a 243 casting number. It looks like 799 on these or 79somthing

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

yeah there 799 virtually the same as 243 casting. The exhaust port is D-shape wich come on the LS6

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

Belt, A/C compressor, and power steering pulley are off. Waiting on the A/C relocator pwr steering pulley and belt.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

There is no difference between the two heads. The numbers tell what original mold the casting came from. 243 mold was done at GM Research, the 799 mold is used by other vendors. The same vendor will have 243 and 799 molds. The numbers are just a GM system for when the mold was made. If a head had a problem it helps them track down where the problem started. The only difference between the heads is production variance.

menace121978 the radiator was 700 shipped 645 with trans cooler w/o 595, as for the clean up I used regular break cleaner works good.

Re: LS1 into a 73 cheyenne
 

just remember for the AN fittings they use a 37* flare. brake lines and such use the 45*.

my 45* is a craftsman and i'm really happy with it. right around $80. i had bought 2 cheapo ones from orielly and broke'em both.

i'm going to order a summit brand 37* for the an fittings.
