Just do it! LS2/4l70E swap
Hello, I've been lurking here for a while now looking and reading. You have all been a very bad influence on me.
![]() Here's the deal, my wife's 1968 short C10 is about to get dropped 3.5/5 and a engine & trans from a 07 Trail Blazer SS. ![]() The drop kit I am using is form ECE (recommended by all most members) as well as converting the front to disk brakes also from ECE. The engine I just bought so I'll be waiting for it arrive. I also lucked out and found a CTS V oil pan on eBay last night, its new and included the pickup and baffle for 130 shipped! Just a few pictures of the project, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by short-t; 01-07-2009 at 06:47 PM. Reason: Could not get pictures to post |

Thanks! Is it complete? If so then I'd say you stole it. The ls2/4l70e I just bought has 16000mi and is complete right down to the electronic pedal control, I gave 4950 for it. WOW I got ripped off! ![]() |

Cool truck man! I am planning a similar swap, but with a carb intake and maximum performance on a budget in mind =]

Re: Just do it! LS2/4l70E swap
Nice looking motor! I used ECE motor/tranny mounts and their EFI fuel tank. The CTsV pan works great with the ECE parts. Take a look at my suburban build thread. It's got a 5.3/4L60E. Can't wait to see the install pictures.

Ya I know the ece engine mounts work good with the CTsV pan, I got all of that info from your thread! Thanks eh. I am thinking about using Doug's headers too. Did you ever find out what dip stick works? I was hoping to use the CTsV dipstick. Greg |

Re: Just do it! LS2/4l70E swap
Beautiful truck. You left a tank in the cab, or are you actually using that tank?
