What's all needed for ls swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Squareforceone · 09-30-2015, 11:22 PM

I was wondering if someone could give me a link to a good write up of what all is needed to do an ls swap in one of these trucks? I know the wiring harness needs to be altered and the ecm tuned for modifications if any are done to the motor. Also different motor and tranny mounts I'm just curious of all the other little odds and ends like the fuel system etc..

Sometimes a search bar doesn't answer everything.

Tejas steel works has their ducks lined up, I'll say that. It literally covered everything that you need to think of. Glad you posted that, I'm book marking it!

The "Search Bar" isnt always effective. Please offer assistance if you feel compelled to respond.

I hate it when people say that. I usually search for what I`m looking for and when I cant find it I`ll post a question. Some joker always replies, "use the search".

Thats why when its a common question most people put "I tried search and couldn't find what I needed please help anyways" or something to that extent.

Shouldnt have to do that. You ask a question, you should get a real answer. Thats what these forums are for, to help others. Dont want to help others? Dont reply. simple.

I usually find some more crafty Google-fu can get me what I want. On-site searches tend to suck, but adding "site:67-72chevytrucks.com" to your Google search will de VERY effective.

Haven't done the swap myself, but I can find lots of stuff:
