Got a little more done to the motor. It's getting closer. I got the new knock senors and wiring installed and intake. Coils are mounted but need some new SS bolts to mount them with. ;):chevy:

Thanks,

Had a little set back on the truck yesterday. blew my radio up and amp I guess. I can't get nothing to work now. I guess I'll pull it all out and buy new stuff!:chevy:

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go
 

Andy have you dropped this off to get it up and going yet? I know you are excited to get it swapped and running.

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go
 

Nope.
I plan on taking some 401 stock out next year for the house redoing so I will get enough for the swap. He said bring it a couple of weeks before Christmas and I would have it back the 2nd week of Jan. I hope to have the money by then. My fianaical manger said wait until after the first so I don't have to pay taxes until the following year on it.
Bruce said no problem he just needs $500.00 depoist so I got that covered.;):chevy:

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go
 

Awesome Andy. I knew you were anxious to get started with it and was not sure when your plans were.
Good luck!

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go
 

Thanks, that is why I'm having Bruce do it. I will have enough money to take care of it and not have to worry with it. ;):chevy:

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go
 

Hi Andy, years ago when this co-worker and i were younger (40ish) he cashed in his 401k for a down payment on a new van. I cautioned him that he would get 60 cents on the dollar in the account. He told me it had 10k in it. I said he will be hit with a 10% penalty for withdrawl before 58 1/2, and said to take the taxes out upon withdrawl otherwise it's taxable income at the end of the year. Anyway he did it and got $6100 after penalty and taxes removed. Maybe this is all changed now, but he hated me that day i told him but later appreciated the info and saved the tax hassle later. Just trying to be helpful, don't mean to pry as money and personal matters can be a hot subject! Good luck, Brian F.

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go
 

Yea I know,
I'm closing out the account. I opened it back when I first started working for D/E 35 years ago. The account isn't very friendly when I want to move it. I'm transferring most of it to our joint 401K so I can move it around better.
I'm keeping enough out to finish the remodel of the house and the truck though.;):chevy:

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go
 

Hey Andy, I'm just stopping in to say "hi" and let you know that I am following along. What are your plans for your license plate and the "71 TPI" air brush work on your truck?

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go
 

Hey man,
Good to hear from U. Have U ordered from S&P yet?

I have been thinking about it and haven't decided yet. I don't know if I will try and get a 71 LSx tag now are just go with a regular tag!

The side art work and tailgate I hope can be changed, I hope!

Haven't checked on it yet.;):chevy:

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go
 

I'd say that's a real good price! :D

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go
 

Yeah man. I had some time off work and placed my order this week. The old rusty exhaust manifolds on my truck will soon be replaced with a set of coated headers. :c2: I've been wanting to re-route the exhaust on my truck for awhile also, so I will do that at the same time.

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go
 

Good deal. How about the little one? Is it time are has it already happen?;):chevy:

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go
 

Yep, HE arrived on 11/7. His name is Jase. I was shocked, because we both thought we were going to have a daughter. The Cooper name lives on for another generation! Life is good!

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go
 

Congrates man. That's the day after our annivesary! Now U have a son to share your truck with! ;):chevy:

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go
 

Andy who did the wiring harness?

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go
 

I bought the whole package from a guy who had Hawks send it off. I will have to look at the paper work at home and see. I don't remember right off.;):chevy:

Re: 2003 LSx swap thread...here we go
 

Cooh, I have a 69 firebird and have a painless harness for that and my 71 C30 has a harness made from HOWELL EFI and the HOWELL harness hands down was the better choice.
