"So, you guys were able to install the engine AND install an electric fuel pump in 7 or so hours or 1 saturday(24hrs?) AND have the engine running WITH NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER? (not to mention re-installing the whole front sheetmetal?)"


the fuel pump took me approximately 1-1.5hours. you drill 3 holes, use rubber lined clamps and run -6 hose, I had to run the return all the way back too ( pre 03 eng)

The front sheet metal only took me ( with a cherry picker) 1 hour to put back on, would have been alot faster if I had help though. 14 bolts I think.

"no Issues"? no, I found out my battery was bad....and I didnt tighten the output -6 line from the fuel pump, what a mess.

If your asking about clearance issues and all that, no none, with the aftermarket motor mounts and trans mounts and the research done to fit these in the 62 and up Chevy/GMC trucks, somebody has Got to be wanting it or their wouldnt be a market for it. Take a look at Performancetrucks.com , ls1trucks.com and ls1tech.com. people are putting LS engines in anything, datsun, mercedies, volvo anything!

Those people, the ones who have the metal fab skills and tools are way above me.
