LT1 GenV swap

[dec010974]

nice build thread. subscribed! is there an easier way to swap in the LT1 gen V engine and transmission? is it so new that the aftermarket hasn't caught up yet? Are there any issues with this swap? Who makes a LT1 GenV harness? are there Adapter plates to mount the motor? who flashes the PCM's to operate in a standalone? the reason im asking these question is because ive done a few LSx Gen 3 and Gen swaps. im trying to stay abreast with this information.

The LT1 Gen V is a different animal imo. I used the BRP swap headers and they fit perfect.

Dirty Dingo have some swap stuff for the swap specific to 63-72 c10’s.
The demand isn’t real big yet, so many items are pricey. I know of a guy that did my harness, again, pricey but he was an excellent source for info.

One huge hurdle I had was a different year of trans, that stumped a lot of tuners. We finally got that resolved tho.

I am by no means even an amateur at these swaps but, I am willing to tell you what has worked for me so far.

Btw, truck is running and driving, just doing some minor tweaks before calling it done.

Good luck!

It's more money than LS for sure.. but its newer, more power, more gears
