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....

Re: ls turbo build
 

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

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
 

killer setup,, should be sweet,, keep us posted!!

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
 

Looking good. Following your progress.

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
 

Yep, i'm over there....

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:metal:

Re: ls turbo build
 

looks like you could even move the motor back a bit

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
 

Heres some picts of the wiring and the shifter. Not sure if im going to like the shifter or not. My helper wanted in the picture also..

On another note, I saw in the okie summer meet thread about your wifes due date and mine is due the same time..:uhmk:

Great build so far, keep it up...!

Re: ls turbo build
 

Hey 69 I'm from dfwss and mwsc I starting a turbo build soon. Starting to gather parts. Thanks for sharing the build now part numbers.

Can use pm me a link to those mounts? I have same stands as u and I am going with f body oil pan. Thats the same intake I wanna run can't wait to see some numbers

Re: ls turbo build
 

The upper engine mounts are 355-3-1114g.

And the dirtydingo sliders just say dd-slider... I sent you a pm...

Re: ls turbo build
 

Where u gonna mount turbo?

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
 

Have you seen this?

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?
