Dude...I put them on backwards aye????? Looking back on the pics and sure looks like I did

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

I'm in my recliner with a red face of embarrassment

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

oh man...i hate my life right now

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

i was like wow he posted this twice...man....so lost in duh right now!!! I'm going to fix this right now!!!!!!!! the freakin worse part is when i was putting the engine in that i was like wow how the heck am i going to put the oil in!!!

you are a pro LS1Nova!!!

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

There's a hose that comes off the middle top of the intake that goes to the pcv valve at the rear of the drivers side valve cover. I can see it in your last pic, was wondering what you had it hooked to.

Edit- I don't know why it double posted my question, my phone was messsing up so I got off line and back on and it double posted it.

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Heck I'm going out now to look at it, I thought everything went into place

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

so the biggest reason i didnt know my mistake was due to everything plugged in near to where it was suppose to go...either way I'm fixing it in the morning, just took a shower so not going to get dirty...plus i have other stuff i need to do tomorrow since my harness will be here

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Looks like your getting there Dman ! a whole lot closer than I am :whine: You should be on the road in no time !

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Hopefully!

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Did you get the fuel system run yet? How did it come out?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

No, the weather was horrible yesterday...I'm gonna get at it after lunch

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Fuel system pretty much done...

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

2nd pic

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

I don't know why I was so worried about it...wasn't too bad to do once I did it

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

It's not all the way in yet...just mocked up for the most part

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Thats looking great! I am hoping to have mine done soon also. I like the hose wraping of the line.

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Making some progress

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Thanks man...had to swap over my valve covers, glad ls1nova pointed it out...getting pretty excited

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

If you're just going to clamp a hose on the filter, I would shove the hose over the flared part and then put a clamp on it, it will be a little tough to do, but it would be a more solid connection. Also, what's the blue thing on the output side of the filter? Looks like a quick disconnect tool?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Yea push the return hose on pass the barb there also shouldnt ge anything sticking out the otther side like that

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

its was the return line, thats why i didn't put it on over the lip, its actually kinda a temp thing anyhow....

on to the next objective...that blue thing is a quick connect, i got it in a fuel line kit i bought a company a member suggested on here...pretty easy setup, i did have to go get a couple things since i went mostly quick connect...the only thing i didn't like about the kit was that it didn't come with two male connectors, that would have been good for a couple things on here...with the spot where i have the hose clamp I'm going to put another quick connect on there...i wasn't rushing but want to see how it would fit up there and how it would be around the exhaust, i do have the nylon hose covered with hose to help protect if from the heat...im also kinda paranoid about the lines so I'm going to wrap the exhaust back some so i don't have to worry about it

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

i would have tried to get that over that barb but had hard enough time getting it to that point...even with hot water and spit

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

swapping those valve covers around looks a lot better man....thanks for the correction...looks a lot better with the oil cap on there correctly

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Do you have a 5/16 quick connect you could put on the return? Also, not sure what you mean by the two male connectors? And the blue thing on the output of the filter, the filter has a retainer in it, you shouldn't need anything else.

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

i see...thats probably why it was such a pain in the butt to get out when i put it on....im actually worried about that...i may have to get a new filter...i bent one of the do dads in there when i pulled it out...i was able to bend it back, but still worried a bit

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Just need a quick little weld, and gas pedal is done

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Great progress, I totally agree with you on the lack of male connectors for these nylon fuel line kits. I am trying to make some male fittings with cut off fuel filter ends in both 3/8 and 5/16, and installing them in the compression fittings.

I have seen some kind of thermowraping for fuel lines on OE vehicles I am sure some product of exists. I am thinking of running a heat shield over my exhaust as it passes by the fuel lines.

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

I thought you had a DBW ? did I miss something ?

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

looks like a dbw pedal to me

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

wow looks alot different than the one I have mine is all plastic looking

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

That would be a 2006-up pedal, the older ones were metal.

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

ya is what i ended up doing was cutting a few male ends off of some hardline and getting them welded, kinda sucks cause those things are expensive, but its cool, i got it I'm hoping to have the harness in today

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

if it isn't a DBW then i have no idea what I'm going to do with that electrical bung up on top!!!:jest::jest::jest:

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Well gents that's what my pedals look like in there

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Kinda looks like Chevy put it in there lol

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

got my harness in today, had to move some wires around on the loom, but wasn't too bad, going to tape it up and get the rest ready tonight but this is what i got so far

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

when i went to upload guys, they were the right way up...sorry

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Ok, I had no Idea figured they were all the same

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

Just got my tac harness in the mail and I'm pretty sure I got the wrong one!!! Errr

Re: 5.3 swap build so far
 

There are two different harnesses, one for the metal pedal and one for the plastic. The plastic one has a smaller plug on the pedal side. The one BR3W posted a pic of is the one you need. Where did you get it?
