I'm so excited. Wish I could work on it tonight. I gotta work out some logistics. I still don't know how the hell I'm going to get the damned engine and tranny in the truck yet. There's an downward gradient outside the garage doors. I need a smooth floor to wheel that bastard around. I guess I could mount a steel eye in the floor, turn the truck around, roll it out and use the come-along to pull it back in the garage. :\ Any suggestions?

That mofo is going to run!! Have you driven an LS1 powered vehicle yet?? My wife has banned me from driving her 2000 WS6 Firebird because of the way I drive it. The 68 Camaro project will definately has an LS-based engine. Sa-weet!!!

If you have the room (it looks as if you do) just use your floor jack to swing the front of the truck over until its sideways in the garage.

If you look on top of it, pretty sure that's the computer (ECM? PCM, whatever?). He's sending the pedal assembly and MAF separate, didn't want to lose it in shipment. Smart guy. The dude I got it from doesn't communicate the best, but he makes up for it with performance and timely shipment. Just when I'm about ready to get pissed and call him, a part arrives ![]() He said it came with an upgraded Z06 slave cylinder for the hydraulic clutch (the line is cut if you look in the first picture), so I'm curious to see if it comes with the pedal assembly. If not, that will be the only thing that I don't think he included. I really wanted the tranny x-member and tranny cooler, but ... I guess I can't have everything, eh? ![]()

Just replacing the power steering pump looks like it will be a riot, to be honest.

Shifty,
The '01 and '02 F-bodies had the Zo6 hydraulics. Also most of the 01/02 T56's had the upgraded steel shift fork for the 3/4 gears. Do a search for the "Drill Mod" on LS1Tech.com, that is something you should do while it is out of the truck. Takes about 20 minutes and will let the hydraulics flow ALOT better.

FirstGen,
Can you tell me something? If you look in the first picture I have above, look at the final O² sensor just behind the cat or whatever at the end of the exhaust. About two inches above that on the bellhousing is an anodized Square. Is that where the hydraulic clutch line (from slave cylinder) will attach? It looks like a steel line there that's been cut. I'm guessing it should be coming with the pedal assembly, but I wasn't clear.

Exactly. That is the correct place. The fitting should be annodized in a bright yellowish color and it is a quick dis-connect. It shouldn't be cut however it is possible that they did cut it for quick removal since it can be very hard to get the dis-connect to come apart sometimes. If it is cut it would be cut at the steel braided line portion that is about 18 inches long un-cut. I can't really tell from that picture but it looks like they just used the proper dis-connect and the master cyclinder is probably still atached to the pedal assembly. From the factory the master cyclinder mounts to the firewall and then runs inside the to the clutch pedal assembly. Does that help? -Taylor

FirstGen, get to pick your brain some more I hope.
Your alternator is high on drivers side, mine is low. Do you know, off-hand, if it's necessary to either a) notch the frame or b) relocate the alternator? I'd like to find some WS6 fuel rail covers or a full cover like you have on your engine, but I can't seem to find the right terms to locate one using Google. Thanks for your input, guys.

I am not as familiar with the F-body accessory setup you have but I do not think you will have any problems with the alternator. The A/C compressor is very tight though. You will most likly need to take that off and drop the motor in first then re-install and make modifications as necessary. Most people call them "fuel rail covers": http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Corve...spagenameZWDVW

I found that eBay auction you picked off, but everyone has 'vette covers. I like the Vortec covers, the cover like you have and I would alternately like something like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-02...spagenameZWDVW I would prefer to have something in black that's large and has WS.6 on it somewhere, just to advertise and whatnot (while cleaning up the look of the engine bay)

those do look nice. Unfortunatly, you will not be able to run the Vortec style covers which would include the Escalade covers I have, the Denali, Silverado, etc since it would require that you use the truck intake a fuel rails.
I'm sure you could have some covers made out of fiberglass and painted for a reasonable price though...

take the front clip off and come in from the side. you should be able to get it in right where the truck is sitting. no rule that the cherry picker has to be in front of the truck. if you could back you truck up a bit even better.
that's how I did mine. DEFINITELY invest in an engine leveler! |
