Re: ls turbo build

Jegs sent the wrong flexplate.... I have to use the crank spacer (555-601010) and a FLAT tci flexplate (399753). They told me that the hughes flexplate (512-hp4004x) will work... But it's dished and won't allow the converter to pull up enough to bolt up to the flexplate... So if you install the spacer first then the TCI flexplate it will work....

Bummer. Hopefully they will get you the correct parts soon and you can finish the install.

Re: ls turbo build

Great progress thus far brother. Got the motor in but ran into a snag with the turbo fitment. As usual I will be keeping a close eye on yours.

Re: ls turbo build

Will do. My goal is 500 to the wheels. Really don't want to blow this 6.0 up...they are becoming harder to find...and pricier to boot.

Re: ls turbo build

69trk- Do you post on MWSC as well? That pic of your truck in the avatar looks familiar. I had no idea you had all this turbo/ls swap going on! Nice work so far.

Re: ls turbo build

Got motor and trans installed today.... Went real easy and motor mounts worked perfect!!! So i don't have to cut or lengthen my 3.5" aluminum driveshaft.... Engine slides real easy with these mounts... Now i have to order the steam line kit that uses the fronts and rears and then order my pro flo xt intake and throttle body... But for now i can install my driveshaft, shifter, radiator and hydraboost unit..

Re: ls turbo build

Look at all the room in front of the engine... Turbo should be fairly easy

Re: ls turbo build

It looks great! I wouldn't move it at all. Leaves plenty of room to reach around and lots of clearance for that tall intake manifold. That thing is clean!

Re: ls turbo build

Haven't posted in a while, just trying to save for the new baby coming in early may. But i did order a ron francis wiring kit that came in today, that should keep me busy for a little while. I cut all the old wiring out of the truck, man what a mess lol....

Re: ls turbo build

Re: ls turbo build

Not sure yet. I'm moving the ac compressor up towards the top and i need to make sure the headers or a log style manifold will miss the ac compressor...

Re: ls turbo build

Ive been looking at that, but needs to be a t6 flange. And i think the turbo would be sitting to close or in the way of the ac compressor. Unless i move it to the driverside?
