That is a loaded question without more details from you. I suggest checking out lt1swap.com. He has put a ton of info on modifying many different harnesses.

My 1990 Jimmy redo. Sent it to a place in Vegas. Paid 16K and received the worst workmanship i have ever seen in my life. Note to self. Even if your to busy in the oil patch working....still...do it yourself.

Not sure if your asking anyone in particular, but I went with the Entropy radiator myself.

I also switched, from what you see in these pics ,which are the 2014 Camaro beltline water pump and balancer, to the corvette water pump (2004 vintage I believe) and balancer as it pushed the beltline back 1.5" closer to the engine. FYI, the 2010+ Camaro and truck beltlines are the same and also stick out the furthest compared to the F-body and Corvette beltlines. Just in case anyone is looking for a bit more room like I was.

If your talking about mine, it's a 6.0/T56 combo with a sinister cam installed. The intake is from TSP. everything else is stock

Looks like you're going to have some of the same problems I did.
I had to use a swivel thermostat housing for the lower radiator hose to fit, I also should have removed the heater hose barbs and tapped the holes for pipe thread. That way you can put a 90 in. If you don't the hoses will kink and rub against the inner fender.

Also the Sanderson headers would have been a good fit if I didn't have a GTO motor/trans. They fit tight and drop toward the back, leaving more room for your steering linkage. I ended up using Hooker block huggers, they were a pain for fitting the steering.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. We have several LS based builds going in the 47 - 59 section and are figuring out the variables of what fits, doesn't fit and potential modifications needed.

Dkaufman, man that is a really clean look!

My ongoing project. 2015 lt platform 5.3 with the 6l80e. Currently waiting on the ecm to come back from flashing, its proven problematic as there are 2 sets of vats on the new ones...
