That looks good Mongo! Where did you get the coil covers?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

AD ..I built them .. from some scrap aluminum

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

I like the clock on your engine cover. J/k!

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

I think that's a fuel pressure gauge.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Never mind, I see your kidding :)

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Ha..that's funny..it is indeed a fuel pressure gauge..that big ol hole needed something in it and that's all I could think of.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Good idea, I like it!

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Nice job on the covers Mongo!

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Those covers are awesome...built not bought! So many great ideas, so many talented people...love hanging out here.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Not Technically an LS. (It's in the GM family though.)

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

I built this truck 5 years ago, daily drove it for two and sold it. I just finally replaced it with a 69 Burb!

Thanks again AD..I love to fabricate.. if I can make it/whatever I will..problem is I spend way more making something than what I could have bought it for.

My 1972 k20 ls swap.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

is that air intake system a kit?
I was told that Spectre made a ls conversion kit, is that what you used?
I am running a 2003 6.0L with the Edelbrock intake and I am trying to find a kit that will bolt up to it. anyone have any ideas?
Thank you

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Yes it's a spectra kit for a 2000 silverado.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

72c10..on mine I just bought the spectre parts I needed off ebay,, that way I only bought the pieces I needed.got the 4" tube off there as well.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

What did you use for a battery box?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Robg ,, that was the stock location for my battery..mine had a big hole ate thru it from a battery leak so I bought a new battery tray from lmc..it was a exact match for my old one..they had right and left side battery mounts. Btw mine is a 1981.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

do you happen to remember what the parts were? if you had a list that would be great.

I spoke to Spectre and they said they have a brand new LS conversion on the way part number 901235, but he said to wait for a month before pulling it up on the web site. but the impatience man I am I pulled it up on Summit Racing and there was a pic but the pipe looks straight. So if I can't find something soon I guess I will have to wait and see.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

C10..here is what I used..spectre filter #hpr9889, $35.13,,,, spectre flex 90 #9785,, $28.70,, spectre 4x3 adapter (between maf and tb),,#97411,,$12.53,,, mandrel bent 45 degree 4 "od alum pipe with 6 in legs from mandrel bends on ebay was $30.37...maybe that will help you out.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

C10,, just to clarify that adapter is 4x3 1/2...not 4x3...part number is right.97411

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

thank you for the info, now I can finish the engine bay.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

for those looking to swap in a TR6060 trans, I just ordered one of these. It should make using all the aftermarket T56 tranny cross members a bolt in.

www.RPhotrods.com

Here is what they had to say...



"To keep up with new transmission options Muscle Rods® has released two new transmission adapter brackets for the T-56 and TR-6060 transmissions, including the MG9 “high-torque” version of the TR-6060 behind the LSA engines in the CTS-V and ZL1 Camaro.

The adapter bracket for the Cadillac CTS-V T-56 as well as the late model TR6060 (non MG9) is laser cut, CNC bent and jig welded using 3/16” thick A36, steel is powder-coated black and comes with all necessary hardware. It is designed to adapt a standard transmission mount to the transmission using the factory bolt holes in the side of the extension housing and places the transmission mount in the correct location for our LS swap kits.

The adapter bracket for the MG9 high-torque TR-6060 is CNC machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, has a milled finish and comes with all necessary hardware. It is designed to adapt a standard transmission mount to the transmission using the factory bolt holes at the rear of the extension housing and places the transmission mount in the correct location for our LS swap kits. Polyurethane transmission mount is not included with the transmission adapter brackets, but is included with our LSx swap kits."

Just fit check this 2014 LS3 in my 66 C10 with mild PB drop member. Will be using the MSD Atomic LS EFI setup here to so will simplify the computer system, plus be speed density, wide band and no MAF. I have a new 4L70E as well with stand alone controller.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

LS3 or L99? Are you keeping the variable valve timing?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Nice catch :)..

It is an L99 out of a 2014 Camaro. I already have everything to convert it to an LS3, per say. Dumping the VVT and AFM, swapping to a small TSP 225/230 cam. As soon as I pull the engine back out will pull the heads, swap cam and lifters, springs and move up to roller rockers. Also setting aside the 6L80E for now and use a 4L70E so I don't have to stick with the OE PCM, no real solution for a stand alone TCM for the 6L80E plus the pain of the output yoke. Will also use FBC.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Sounds like you've got it covered. Do you have a build thread going?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

No Build thread yet. Debating on whether to start one, I'm horrible at documenting as I go..

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Final mock up complete. LC9 w/ a TR6060. now just have to pull it and put on the CTSV pan, notch the frame rail for the NLE power R&P and, put in the 14' Camaro SS clutch and drill a few more holes for mounts.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Here is mine.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Love turbo LSx builds! You have any pics of how you mounted the coil packs?

Your just right down the street from me, maybe we'll cross paths sometime...

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

nice swap. i know is an old tread, but i should ask.. what kind or rack and pinion is that?
