Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Is there someone that could guide me in a direction/website with a how to, step by step to start doing this? I shouldn't have read this thread LOLOLOL!!! I have no idea where to start. Like if I go to the junkyard and snag a motor what all should I be grabbing for wires my current project is a 1964 C10. I'd like to snag an engine so I have some stuff to work on during the winter! ANY and ALL help is/will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You might want to use the open LS forum to get your answers to your questions. Everything you will need to know can be answered by the guy's on there. They walked me through my 5.3 in my S10.

Lots of awesome trucks and info on here! Thought i'd post up a few pix of my 62..

For all of the 67-72 LS swap guys that don't have the time or tools to fabricate a DBW pedal mounting bracket, check this out:

How did you hook up the TV cable for the trans?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

I went to the junkyard and hacksawed the tv lever arm off of a carburetor from a truck or car cant remeber that had a 700r. I also cut off the bracket that holds the cable and welded it to the bottom of the 5.3 throttle bracket. Before I cut anything at the junkyard I measured the radius and the angle for the TV lever and matched the dimensions before i welded it to the 5.3 throttle body. Probably not the most ideal setup out there but it works.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Anyone know what accessory setup this is?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

looks like vintage air...

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Man that looks b...e...a...utiful! I bet there is some money there! Totally worth it though.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Yea, its vintage air,at the time it was the least exp. billet style drive syst. available. The one dissapointing thing is the water pump pulley keeps fading from black to a brown color,they warranteed the first one but its happened again.I figure when I get some time I'll send it to my own anodizer & let him take a crack at it.Other than that issue its nice

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Every anodized part I've seen fades if it gets a lot of UV exposure. Some parts take longer than others, but it happens to all of them.

Installed a Modified 3/8" hose barb in my factory rad for the steam port. Just brazed it on like you would do with copper pipe. Then hit it with black spray paint for giggles. I still need to clean it up and repaint it before it goes on.

Cost a total of $2.79 from lowes and about 20 minutes of work. I like this better than the Jags That Run adaptor.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

I agree but these parts have never been out of the shop

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

I thought everyone knew about tapping and threading the w/p these days...

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Yep, I know about that, Just didn't want to do it. Same amount of work and same amount of money. This also allows for the steam port line to be as close to the highest point in the system as possible.

some unreal swaps in here!

Hey Blue. How is that MAF/Air filter combo treating you? I picked one up for that clean look and then I heard from some guys that they aren't happy? What do you think? Also is that a Dirty dingo AC mount?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Air conditioning bracket is from kwikperf.com I have not had any issues with it though truck isn't done so haven't driven it much. When I had a rough tune done I was told it doesn't really do much other than restrict it basically. Not sure if I will change it or not. Not intake tubes taking up space and cluttering so to speak. We will see.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

What kind of mpg's are you getting with this ls1 swap?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

My truck has a 6.2 in it, over all gets about 16 MPG, thats with a lot of "spirited" driving. If it`s a straight road trip it will get almost 20.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Which accessory drive is that? Particularly the alternator bracket....

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

They are from Holley.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Since close counts....CLOSER!! ;)

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

I was hoping you'd say that. I was contemplating using those with corvette spacing but wasn't sure if the alternator would clear the coil covers. Looks like it does.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

I had to trim a bit of the corner for the AC bracket. No problems with the alternator bracket though.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Great. I am not going to have AC so this will work for me. Thanks.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Here is my setup, hopefully cruising someday soon

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Sweet!
