Well i got a huge set back... http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/k...827_170319.jpg

Turns out this is a Gen IV AFM engine.

AFM...Active Fuel Management. (Can shut oil off on certain lifters to kill cylinders).

and you cant make a stand alone harness for them and nothing will work, so ill have to find another.... super yay, not thrilled :lol:

Re: project 62
 

Well that sucks. At least the motor mounts are ready to plop one in though.

Re: project 62
 

Yeah but really sucks though.. not sure what im going to do with it now. Boat weight :lol:

Re: project 62
 

maybe G and R will swap ya lol

Re: project 62
 

Ouch!! Look at it this way, your lesson learned could really help someone here. ;)

Re: project 62
 

Oh man, I never knew that about those engines. Hope you can swap it for one that will work for you.

I quoted it on Saturday. It was liked by all.

Re: project 62
 

:haha:

Re: project 62
 

What year did GM start producing that type engine?

Re: project 62
 

Gen III production started in 1997 as an RPO LS1 for the Corvette. :metal::metal::metal:

Re: project 62
 

Sorry for the vague question. I was referring to the one that shuts down the cylinders like Scott has now?

Re: project 62
 

Sorry, I thought you were referring to the Gen III engines, in general. GM actually introduced AFM in the 1981 Cadillacs. There was a "redesign" to the LS engine platform in 2004 and, in 2005, AFM was an option with the 5.7 Vortec engine as well as the LS engine family. :chevy:

Re: project 62
 

Its a crappy design now that i have one by mistake :lol:

Re: project 62
 

I wish my 6.0 Truck had that engine. It would give better mileage. Why not keep the stock harness? Or did I miss something? :uhmk:

Re: project 62
 

ill trade ya ;)

Its takes a special harness and computer to run it, will be cheaper and less of a headache to just go the normal route.

Re: project 62
 

Put a carburetor on it. :mm::lol:

Re: project 62
 

Got my tie rods made up and Mike Tigged them up for me, thanks again Mike :thumbs:

Re: project 62
 

:lol: but i need a hand, will you come over?? :lol: ;)

Re: project 62
 

Anyone ever made your own headers?

Re: project 62
 

It's easer to change the motor mounts to make the headers fit. Here's what I did, but not finished with it yet. Just an idea for ya. :smoke:

Re: project 62

Re: project 62

Wiring done as far as on the bench and fuse block ready to be wired

Rats nest! Hooking everything up like it will be on the engine so i can shorten/lengthen whatever it needs to look better.
