[Cherub]

Man glad to hear you got it on the road and you can enjoy the fruits. When do we get to see some vid of this beast

[pcmcobra]

Soon as I can get someone to hold the camera

[Captkaos]

Waiting Anxiously.

[JonnyTechMech]

Damn! I hate looking at this thread cause it’s got me jonesen for getting my 5.3l swap finished. But now I want a 6.0l to rid myself of the regret factor. Congrats on a finished swap. You gotta get that camera on that engine and do another sound check soon!

[Cherub]

PCMCOBRA, Was the 6.0 a single line fuel rail or a duel line?

Thanks in advance.

[pcmcobra]

single, no return.
Running the vette filter/regulator back next to gas tank.

[Cherub]

Thanks man.

One other thing how did you resolve the issue with the drive shaft and transmission? the yoke size is different correct.

[pcmcobra]

Cherub,
I had the driveshaft shop use a crossover ujoint.
Finally changed to a truck intake, so now I have a cover on top of it.
Looks better.

[lolife99]

pcmcobra,... How much money do you think you spent on this swap? I'm trying to justify doing one of these someday. Any chance you could give us a break down on all the prices?

[pcmcobra]

hmmm.
3500 motor and tranny
350 shipping
500 harness
300 tune
150 new gas tank
400 fuel pump, misc an hose/fittings
100 new tranny cooler
300 new lokar oil/tranny dipstick,throttle cable and tranny linkage
30 91 burb cluster (for electric speedo)
200 driveshaft work
600 headers
200 reconnect exhaust/fit new pipe
maybe I should stop now?
lol
Next up is new posi/3.73 gears. Then big brakes all around.
Then, maybe bag'it

Yea i found a local shop in houston that can hook me up modifying my driveshaft to accept the input shaft. thanks for the reply.


Why did you go with a truck intake mani? What manifold was on it before(ls6 ls2)?

You're a sick, sick man. I knew I liked you!

When are you going to take me for a spin in that bad boy...or even let me behind the wheel?

[pcmcobra]

Rob, yes the intake you gave me is on it now. Had to get some brass inserts for throttle cable bracket. No problem. thanks!
Cherub, I had a van intake, same as a truck, it just did not have mounting provisions for a cover-reason why I went to truck intake.
Ogre, if rain holds off this weekend, I'll be running around, give me a call!

[Cherub]

pcm quick question. What motor mounts did you use? cause my stockers with polyurathane inserts are not lineing up. Im going to just try stock ones and see if that fixes the problem.

[pcmcobra]

Cherub,
I used carshopinc plates and stock mounts/inserts, lined up just right no problems.
One of these days I will get a video made!!!

[hessian18]

Any updates on the 6.0 ?? New tune ?



Did you end up going with a big break conversion ?


Im still in the works with mine...May be a couple steps closer in the next few months..


Hope to see some updates !!

[pcmcobra]

hessian,
New tune, all is well. No big brakes yet, still saving for the new rearend.
Sorry for the late reply.

[lnwlfbsktbll]

i got my lq9 complete for $2000 tax included its an '07 w/ 27k miles

[lnwlfbsktbll]

Thats a beautiful set up pcm im trying to get around to starting mine i need a new tranny and fuels system and the little stuff so the motor is sitting and waiting for now

[lnwlfbsktbll]

what fuel pump is everybody using? i've got an ly6 6.0 and i've seen people talk about using an '87 tank because it has baffels and an ac delco ep 241 pump but i cant find any infor mation on this pum in regards to its pressure capabilities... can somebody point me towards a good pump that would allow me to use a stock tank?

[menace121978]

a/c delco ep381. will work w/ stock 87 sending unit and tank. its rated at i believe 80psi.

[menace121978]
