Re: LS Swap 70c10 Need help

I agree that the walbro inline 255 is a little loud, but my brother in law has his mounted underneath the cab and it isn't too bad. You can hear it while driving, but the exhaust is extremely quiet.

I run 2 walbro inline 255 pumps on my turbo 6.0 in my chevelle. They work great, and haven't had any problems even though they are mounted above the pickup in the tank.

Holley also makes adapter plates that put the back of the motor in the same spot as the stock motor. No changes needed behind the motor. Heard great things about the dirty dingo mounts as well.

There are a few aftermarket dished flexplates you can use with crank spacers for the older transmissions/converters, but I use a stock flexplate/spacer from a 6.0/4L80E combo that bolts right up. Haven't had any issues with it even with transbrake launches @3900lbs.

Yeah my brother wanted the exhaust to be very quiet. It is actually quieter than my mom's suburban. If it had anything more than stock exhaust sound, you wouldn't ever hear the pump.

Lol, the "internet fame" was the last thing I ever expected. I just wanted a fun truck for parts hauling and sunmer daily driving. It's been great and I put over 8000 miles on it last year.

This forum is a tremendous resource, use the search function and keep browsing. I believe message boards such as this have done more for the hobby than anything before.
