That is one sweet looking engine. Where did that intake come from?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

It was custom made.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Here's my 53 half-ton. 5.3L LM7 - stock internals except for valve springs and an EPS cam (pretty mild - 216/224 @ 113 LSA). Put an Edelbrock carb intake on it along with a FAST EZ-EFI 2.0 throttle body - wanted some of the benefits of injectors but still keep a more traditional look under the hood. One-off headers. Running mostly stock LS1 (camaro) front drive. Nothing too wild & crazy, but plenty of power for cruising and runs great!

For anyone looking to install a Tremec manual trans, I have a Samco reverse lock out solenoid controller for sale that was only used for mock-up.

I'm using the newer sheet metal CPP stands and adapter plates on an 03 Corvette LS1.

Do I need to use the front 2 motor mount holes on the frame or the rear 2 holes? I don't have my cab at the moment so I'm rolling the dice at this point.

This is a 66 C10

Here is my 71 swb with a ls1/4l60e pulled from a 2001 camaro ss. It's all stock for the most part, just freshened up. Lots a fun to drive.

Thanks
I like to keep things simple.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Here's our, just got it fired up last weekend !

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

heres mine,

when my son was 15 he was making noise about wanting a car, so we told him we;d get him a a car if he learned a foreign language,,
thought I was off the hook, since we didnt hear anything for a few weeks then he said he had his first spanish lesson on saturday and he wanted a 68 or 69 Chevelle or something old and cool.

we had a budget of $4500 so we started looking for one with the least rusty Chevelle we could find,
then one saturday morning we were playing video games and he looks out the window and says " whos that? is that Uncle Chris? Is that his truck ?"
and shot out the door to check out my brothers 81 stepside 4 speed K-10, and he thought it was cooler than any Chevelle.

we wanted a rust free truck , we got this one from a horse rescue ranch in Az
we named it Snowball,
since every repair or upgrade turns into a much larger job than intended.
and since snowballs pick up stuff as it rolls along.


its a 76-77 cab with the shoulder belt anchor holes in the B pillar
has 73 doors with the small rollers
radiator core support has a 1980 emission sticker
3.73 8 lug axles from a 79
interior is from a 82


when we got the truck it had a poorly running carbed 305 or 350
we ditched the carb for a TBI

then later swapped the Sm465 trans for a NV3500 from a 07 silverado along with swapping the NP-205 for a NP-208

then later swapped in a 5.3 from a 2002 with 260K on it

gonna add vintage air soon.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Here's mine. I'll be doing a turbo once I get some shake down miles on it. 2002 lm7 5.3l paired to a 4l60e. Still have to finish wiring and fuel supply.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Looks clean so far

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

My new 83...bone stock LM7 n 4L60e...finally running n driving...still getting stuff buttoned up on it

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Just added AC, and recently added rack and pinion.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Looks like a 6.0. Is that the quik performance AC bracket kit? One serpentine belt driving everything?

My 6.0 (6.7 actually) is almost ready to be dropped in. Going to also add the rack and pinion before the front clip goes back on.

How is your water pump to radiator hose coming up from the driver side?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

My '80 C10. 5.3L/4L60e swap with BTR Stg.1 cam and valvetrain. Been on the road now, for over a year, and am lovin' it.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

I guess it now qualifies as an LS swapper because the LS3 finally landed in between the frame rails.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Here's mine, 2.5 months for the swap and about 1500 miles on it so far with very few problems. I used a 2002 Silverado 5.3 and topped it off with an LS1 intake and injector setup, I love it!

Only one pic dude lol

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Hey Lee,

Hows the cold air intake working out sucking thru the fender?

I have the same setup right now. Trying to figure out how to route some more air into that box.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

Rich, as far as I know, the engine has had no complaints with this set-up. I suppose you could create some sort of elbow from the intake side of the air box to the radiator support for a "cold air" effect, if you wanted/needed to, but for my everyday driving, things are just fine. There seem to be no breathing restrictions with the box butted against the fender, and the holes provided by the factory stampings

It just occurred to me that your set-up came from an Izusu (?), so I don't know how your filter box is created. Mine is from the Tahoe, from which the engine came, and the side that butts against the fender has openings for inlet air. Is yours the same?

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 

I grabbed an air cleaner box from a pickup..So I have the same exact setup as you. It seems to take in close to ambient temp air as long as you are moving.
