they also show stepped headers available in their long tube's with primaries up to 2".

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Those appear to be the same ones from BRP, coated is $499 from BRP. PN45666 is the coated version of the 45660.

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Sorry if this has been answered, I've searched and searched and have gone through a lot of threads.

If I am using the under hood fuse block that came with the 5.3 in my swap, do I run the grey wire from C3-F1 (fuel pump power) straight to my fuel pump of does it need to go to a relay first? I think it already goes through a relay on the block but I'm not 100%.

Thanks to everyone for all the info that is out there.

Re: LS engine swap info
 

look at this schematic on this page:
http://lt1swap.com/pictures/fig_7.gif

It appears that the gray (18ga) wire (circuit 120) from the fuse block (location F1/ connector C3) goes thru the relay on the fuse block and go straight to the pump.

here is the connector ref that I used to ID the wire:

Hope this helps you out...

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Confirmed what I was thinking. Thank you

Re: LS engine swap info
 

The TRailblazer SS exhaust manifolds are available from GM Parts direct. On the homepage, put 2005 Trailblazer and click the model option with the 5.3 engine. The left side is $51.94 and the right side is $49.21. I will order a set for my next build in a couple weeks. These are suppose to tuck inside the 67-72 frame rails.

here is da link: http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/catalog/frameset.cfm

Re: LS engine swap info
 

those for the 5.3L on the V8 TrailBlazer... are the same as the ones on the 6.0 LS2 TrailBlazer SS?

Also, TBSS's were made from 2006-2009.

Re: LS engine swap info
 

I just changed the search parameters for 2007 Trailblazer SS with the 6.0 and the price is the same, so I ASSume its the same manifold. They dont list a part number on the website. I just added both to the shopping cart and the total with shipping is $126.22 for the pair

Re: LS engine swap info
 

So how bad would it drive with on tune...

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Back on Post #8, the link to Do's Blocks no longer works since that company is no longer in business. I was searching for the Denso 10S17F 10S20F Suction and Discharge Compressor Adapters for the truck compresser in the OE truck position. The old part numbers where AA2209 and AA2210.

Those numbers lead me to coldhose.com and these parts:

http://coldhose.com/catalog/product/...g/category/39/

Those are not what I was looking for but will certainly work.

I did find on their site these parts, which are the ones I was looking for:
http://coldhose.com/catalog/product/...s/category/39/

So, for anyone looking for the adapter fittings, there is the info for two different styles that are currently available and a source to get them from.

Hope this helps some one.

Re: LS engine swap info
 

So, if a guy bought a wrecked 2010 Camaro Ss, with a complete, running engine with all wiring, how hard would it be to transplant it to a '69 Chevy C10?

Re: LS engine swap info
 

This depends on how you want to do the swap, i.e. how much do you want to spend? or what is your skill level with wiring?
You can buy a plug and play harness/pcm that all you have to do is connect like 4 wires or you can completely rework the stock harness and have the pcm reflashed.
It's not hard but it does take some time and a whole lot of patients.
Brendon at lt1swap.com can reprogram your pcm and he has some info about the harness : HERE

Re: LS engine swap info
 

I just helped a guy do this very engine in a 72 GMC. You will need a different oil pan, have to remove the oil cooler from the side of the engine and if its an L99/6l80e, you will need a high hump floor to clear the trans.

Re: LS engine swap info
 

I did it here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...358692&page=17

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Looking for any and all good info on ls swaps. I have a 68 short bed I'm putting a 5.3 4l60e in. Any help is appreciated.

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Has Anyone Used These..... http://www.jegs.com/i/Hooker+Headers...FY-Cfgod7bYM3Q .Any Thoughts??

Re: LS engine swap info
 

The Hooker header looks good, but being cheap, I found a set of Trailblazer SS manifolds on eBay. I took off the heat guards, ground off the mounting points for them, plus all the casting flash and part numbers. They look awesome and I have 40ish dollars in them. Just talked to a guy about ceramic coating them and they'll be done, still at half the cost .

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Those are basically 2010+ Camaro manifolds... If you're luck you can come up with some 2014+ Z28 stainless steel manifolds off ebay... for the cool factor... ;)

Re: LS engine swap info
 

I used them on the '67 Panel Truck. They fit like a glove and were easy to connect the rest of the exhaust to. The shop that did my exhaust just welded the o2 bungs in the pipe below the manifolds. That is a good price. The cheapest I could find on e-Bay when I bought mine was $319..... I couldn't find any GM takeoffs at that time.

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Hi, do u know of any resonable price long tube headers that will fit im swaping a 5.3 in my 67 c10, thanks a lot!

Re: LS engine swap info
 

I'm not sure what you consider reasonable, but a lot of guys are running the Doug Thorley 324y-c https://www.summitracing.com/parts/dte-324y-c
I have them going into my 71 with 6.0 and they seem to be a really nice fit. I've had them in once with the engine in and out several times.

Re: LS engine swap info
 

They are nice i had done of his headers in my 71 impala, great quality!

Re: LS engine swap info
 

A lot of good information in this thread!

Re: LS engine swap info
 

I will definitely be referring to this thread a lot for when I start my swap this spring. 2000 lq4 4l80e in to a 88 3500 crew cab.

Re: LS engine swap info
 

mcbassin, who sells the plug & play harness/pcm?; looking for engine for '50 model truck & am getting discouraged with info from numerous conversations regarding using LS engine/trans.

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Modern Vintage Systems, Painless, BP Automotive, Speartech...just to name a few.

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Thanks Hart Rod, i spoke with two vendors yesterday from the above mentioned.

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Have you cheked the ls swap classifieds on this forum?

Re: LS engine swap info
 

I found this guy in Florida and had him rework the factory harness that came with the LS1 that I got from a 2002 TransAm...he did a great job at a reasonable price...I think it was around $350.....

Re: LS engine swap info
 

My 64 had a 6 cylinder in it. I have a set of V8 stands which mount in a forward location of the stock 6 cylinder stands. I bought adapter plates for my 4.8 to use standard motor mounts. Any ideas on which stands will be better to use ? Thanks for any advice.

Re: LS engine swap info
 

I've looked thru several pages of the classifieds & did not see a reprogrammed harness for '05 GTO engine & auto trans.

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Question on oil pans; we have '05 GTO LS2 with factory front sump oil pan & need to change to rear sump. After much searching it appears the LS1 pan #12628771 is what we need. When you change to this oil pan do you also change the oil pump pickup, windage tray, dipstick tube, dipstick, o-ring for oil pump pickup. I found the part #'s for all these items on LS1 Tech in the LSX Oil Pan thread. Of course we would change the pan gasket as well & all of the bolts if I can find them listed.

Thanks For Any Assistance

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Yes, you'll need the pick up tube, windage tray and dipstick tube. When you have the GTO pan off, don't forget to knock out the little plug in the block where the dipstick goes, otherwise you'll be pulling the pan again!

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Thanks ls1nova; so we reuse the original dipstick?, & the plug removed for the new dipstick location, is that plug instsalled in the original dispstick location?

Re: LS engine swap info
 

You need to match the dipstick and tube to what ever pan you are using, they're all different. The new dipstick will go in he block, that's where the plug is, the GTO the dipstick tube goes into the pan.

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Here is a site i came across a while back that may provide some info.

http://www.improvedracing.com/LS-oil-pan-dimensions.php

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Thanks tlorber

The Fbody pan is what we need; at GM parts direct it appears the pan does not come with new bolts, don't see them for the windage tray either. Are these bolts re-usable, if not has anyone ordered these separately?

Re: LS engine swap info
 

The oil pan bolts and windage tray bolts are reusable.

Re: LS engine swap info
 

Thanks aggie91; I talked with the local Chevy parts guy & new bolts come with the pan & windage tray.

New question, do we use antiseize on the oil pan bolts?
