Re: LS Swap: Introduction, newbie, planning...

Plenty of clearance at firewall and easy access. I took some photos, but will have to wait until back at office to post.

Made some progress yesterday:
Salvaged fuel lines out of donor, straightened and rebent to follow left frame rail and up firewall so factory rubber hoses connect to fuel rail. Used throttle pedal bolts coming through firewall as anchor points. Used factory fuel filter and bracket to mount on frame rail. In tank fuel pump and connection to fuel filter remains. Return line parallels supply.

Salvage exhaust down pipes out of donor, right side factory 90 is in perfect spot. Left side will welded up so it turns inward slightly and then rolls back to rear right below trans linkage.

Relocated trans linkage bracket, narrowed linkage and connected all to trans.

Cut end off donor throttle cable and shortened as much as possible so enough inner cable in cab to connect to pedal. But it is too short now. Anyone know of a longer cable than came in 01 Tahoe? Need to redo this part.

Pulled out all the windshield washer hoses...wiring harness will enter cab where washer hoses were. Anyone know best remote electric washer pump?
