Re: Another way to skin the cat; the High Torque 292 LS swap

May be too late for that up grade on the ECM, I will be happy if I can get the compressor to turn on and off!
I do have a trianary switch mounted to the drier and will need to look up the schematic to see how it is wired

Re: Another way to skin the cat; the High Torque 292 LS swap

this is exactly how an LS swap should look. I'm really impressed with the subtle fabrications you did. Great work!

Re: Mounts:

Would this be considered in the "stock" location or inch back etc?

There pretty much run of the mill plates, except that the SBC mount holes are 1/4" below the Gen 3 mounting holes. This will raise the motor by about 1/4".

Here are the plates in the middle of painting:



I also needed to modify the passenger's side tower. First, I removed the top of the tower:



Then a duplicate of the mount "top" in flat steel:



Welded together and a rough pass with the flap wheel:



Gusseted under the edges to add back some strength and blasted:



All done, in paint:

Using the bell housing mounting surface as the point of reference, the plates that I made move the "LS" engine 1 inch forward of the SBC.

Hey Dayj1,

Can you talk about how you set up the transmission and column shifter?

Thanks

The truck had a th350 behind a 350 when I bought it. It already had what I think is a CPP crossmember and universal column shift linkage (rod type). I reused both on the 4l60 and bought an overdrive indicator lens from speedway motors. Is that the info you were looking for?

Thanks that helps. I guess I was assuming you where running a 4l60e and I was wondering how the column shifter and electric trans was hooked up.

Wow love this build. I like how the motor looks stock. I'm sure people give it a double take at cruise nights��

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Another way to skin the cat; the High Torque 292 LS swap

Every time this thread pops up, it makes me want to rip the 5.3/4l60e out of my old '99 that is just sitting there and drop it in the Blazer looking similar to this. Unfortunately, I have too much money wrapped up in a new SBC to abandon that course. I just love the look and functionality of this, maybe on the next one.

I need to start a build thread on it. But, at this point, I've successfully disassembled and scattered a perfectly good running truck.

This is what it looked like after I mocked up the suspension and just before I tore it down to the frame.



And this is the current state of the new LQ4 in it now.
