I don't think I posted a completed pic... Slapped it together and drove it all summer and I was very impressed with the power of the LS.

Here is my project. 1965 fleet side short bed. 2005 5.3L with LS6 intake, ported DBW throttle body. Comp Cams LSR cam .604/.610 lift. LS Engine Dual Valve Spring Kit with Comp push rods. The trans is a 4L60E built by a friend of mine. The rear end is new with Aburn posi with 3.73 gears. I converted the wiring harness with help from LT1 swap.com. It's coming together slow but steady.

The way I purchased it:

The frame done with fresh powder coating:

Getting close to finishing. I have 90% of all the parts to complete the swap. thebuilt 4L65E trans is coming this saturday and the Harness from S&S performance should be here within the next two weeks. This puppy should be up and running by the end of this month. i also picked up a 56 stepside with 80k original miles on the clock. Gotta finish the 84 b4 I can play with the 56. lol.

Just a thought, your fan is not spaced properly to cool. It should be 1/3 in the sroud and 2/3rds out. If it runs hot this may be the reason. Looks great.

Got the lq4 started this weekend. This is a short clip of the first start up. The engine sounds good and has quick revs. Aluminum flywheel and a good tune help the revs. I can't wait to get it on the road but I have a lot of work yet before that happens.

Yea i know. Not sure what im going to do about it just yet. Im not interested in going with electric fans and they dont make spacers. So far what i have found is they do make adapters to go from the threaded style fan to the old bolt style. So, i could get one of those and use my old fan and easily space it however i want with the normal style spacers. So far it seems to be working like it is. Had it idling in the driveway for about a half an hour and it stayed right at 196 the whole time. But, that was like a 50* day. It remains to be seen how it would handle stop and go traffic on a 90* day. Time will tell. Thanks for the complements!

If anyone else is looking to do the same thing, i have the fuel rails for sale. I decided to go with the F.A.S.T. LSXRT intake on mine instead but cant return the rails.

Thanks guys! The headers fit great and Im pleased with them. However the black coating they came with was almost wore off in the box, so I ceramic coated them before putting them on.

I really like the way you did your air box, I'm still up in the air how I will do mine, I'm currently swapping an LS into my 81 K5, so far I have started the mock up process, waiting on some parts to show up, still have to run the harness etc.

Re: LS swappers, post up your pics!!
 
Hey gents, I have a question....

My 68 has the LS1 in it, and i have been using a Mr. Gasket/Spectre universal throttle cable, since i am using the factory C10 pedal. The only issue is that i have replaced this sucker 3 times already, and it just broke again. I am tired of replacing this with something that will fail again.

What are you all using for your throttle cable??

I know a lot of you guys are running the DBW setup, but this is more directed at the cable swappers

Any Help would be greatly appreciated!!
