More of the same.




Let me know if you need more or an actual measurement for something. Good luck.

I did need to massage the seem lip in the tranny tunnel to get more clearance for the vent tube on top of tranny, to avoid rubbing noises later.

I like where mine sets. Plenty of room up front. Room behind. Not touching firewall etc. I did have to drill rivets out to move tranny crossmember forward, I think about 2 inches. The oil pan( truck pan) clears the front crossmember with at least a 1/4 inch or more. It hangs below frame though. Mines c20 at stock height, so who cares. Skid pan to come later though. The only problems I had with going this far back were the seem on tunnel needed folded back a little, the Lokar cable for shifter to me is a little short, tight bends. And my Doug Thorley headers dumped right in front of Parking brake cables, so it was tight bends coming out to exhaust. I thank my exhaust man for doing such a good job at that fix. Drive shaft needed shortened, but that fixed my vibration problems. Found out shaft yoke wasn't welded on square from factory I guess. Any questions just ask. Good luck. I'll take some pics of the plates I made for the motor mounts tommorrow.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

In progress. The block will be blue like the wheels and it will have cast aluminum finned valve covers. That is an NP833 o/d 4-speed behind it. Just finished putting in a 212/218 .522/.529 cam, LS6 springs, and TSP pushrods. Gonna need some less expensive tires for burnouts...

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

low_84_inchaska - I built a simple box mount for mine that sets up against the rad support, and uses two of the three rad support-to-inner fender mounting holes.

It's since been painted.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

5.3L and mockup transmission are finally mounted!

Here's the mounts we created. The chassis is 2003 S10, and the engine sits back about 8.5":





What it looks like when attached to the frame (using all existing threaded holes and stock S10 motor mounts)



Finally!



I have a re-worked harness, LS1 intake, fuel rails, injectors, and idler pulley relocation bracket. I have an un-tuned PCM. I bought a F-body oil pan and dipstick tube. I bought F-body manifolds (which aren't going to work either).

I still need all of the truck accessories and brackets. Also still need a starter. Also, I still need to cross my fingers, and hope that when we swap oil pans and check the bearings that everything looks ok. I still need an electric fan. I still need a 4L60E transmission (have a lead on one for $50, but needs rebuilt, will probably purchase soon). I assume that I'm going to need a MAF. Also need an air intake tube and filter.

This swap will nickle and dime you to death. Don't go into the swap thinking you're going to spend less than $1500. It's just not going to happen.

If anybody switched to a F-body or Vette accessory system, and still has the truck accessory drive that they want to sell, please send me a PM.

It's going to suck forking out the money for custom headers, but we don't see any way around it. We may try to make our own though...

Our next step is mounting the S10 steering column.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!

My 1969 Chevy C-10 Stepside Swap, started off as a simple 5.3L swap with a nice electroic 4L60E. Then I decided that wasn't good enough so I cammed it, that was a great improvement but then I decided to go crazy and swap it out with a completely build up LQ9 6.0L with brand new high flowing L92 cylinder heads, LS3 Intake manifold, 90mm throttle body, Comp Cams 223/231, .610/.617, on 112 lsa. I topped the new motor off with GM Performance Part LSX polished valve covers and hiding the coils in the frame rails!!!
PICS:

Many more pics in my build thread and I'm planning on taking it out to the track this spring to see how fast it is!

I just got it running for the first time this week so no numbers from my exact setup but I copyed this setup: "LS2 with L92 Heads LS3 Manifold makes 460rwhp and 446rwtq" So it should run awesome!!!
