whens the swap happening ?

menace121978 · 11-09-2009, 11:44 PM

how do you make the 4wd trans into a 2 wheel drive? i have a line on a 6.0/4l80 but with a transfer case too. details??

GMC91 · 11-10-2009, 12:04 AM

I would figure all you would do is take the transfer case off and put a tailshaft from a 2WD on it, but I could be wrong.

Nice truck! I am excited to see another LS swap. The tinted windshield is so far beyond legal here in CO. Looks cool though.

Thanks man

Transmisson without transfer case

Transfer case

This is the engine it has a lot of salt on it but i get cleaned up and look maybe like Bob project i lust love how clean it was done.

Transmisson without transfer case

Is there any way you can find out a part number for that tail housing when they converted it. I have a 6.2/6L80 out of a 2010 camaro. it has a hard flange, but i want to swap to a traditional yoke style like yours and i'm having a hard time finding just that part. even a phone number to the tranny shop you used would be nice.

I bought the drive shaft from the donor vehicle but it's two-piece with a carrier bearing and i've heard bad things about them. worst case, i'll adapt it but i've got serious power and would REALLY like a one piece shaft..

thanks,

Justin

Your truck is looking awesome. Are you painting the entire engine or just the valve covers?

Damien · 11-10-2009, 12:19 PM

This is a BA truck. What do you have for a drop and what wheel and tire?

menace121978 · 11-10-2009, 12:24 PM

right on. thanks for the pics! looks like you guys are right.... they just took the transfer case off and bolted up a new tail shaft. wonder how the trans computer is going to act without it? and for some strange reason i thought the front axles came out of the oil pan on the ls 4X's.

Sure man i had them but i wasn't planning to post them until u requested i always take pics of everything but i keep them for my self cuz they are ridiculously allot

The TCM will be fine the conversion from 4wd to 2wd wont affect anything cuz its going to be tuned for the cam and recalibrate the transmission cuz in this suv they got a switch for sport mode but i wont be able to use that option in my truck so i try to get something in between.

Its better to get an 6l90 from an SUV and take the transfer case out cuz they are tougher than the 2wd version 6l80.

v502 · 11-14-2009, 07:19 PM

Nothing special i been busy on my other car and i haven't seen my truck since i dropped it in the shop hopefully i go check it out on Monday.

Gauges showed up today and its a Saturday. I ordered them from Jegs it was my first order and they are awesome.

v502 · 11-18-2009, 05:00 AM

list of stuff still to be done.

1. Standalone Harness

2. Cam and exhaust valves

3. Need Radiator and the Support & Electric Fans

4. Make an new custom trans Cross-member & Drive-shaft

5. Rebuild the rear-end.

6. New Harness ( Didn't figure out yet if i need one or not )

Thats all for now but you never know whats going to pop out.

v502 · 11-19-2009, 12:24 PM

Update:

The truck is back and cleaned out.
Seems like i need a new radiator support & inner fenders.

I was qouted $1500 for the radiator and i don't know what. My ears stopped listening as soon as they said $1500.
We might try put the esclade stock radiator if it fits.

Engine mounts looks they love their new home

Sorry for crappy phone pics i forgot the camera

v502 · 11-19-2009, 08:04 PM

menace121978 · 11-20-2009, 01:08 AM

those headers are sick as heck man! looks like they fit like a glove too. can i ask for some details on them?? are they coated and the ? everyone hates to ask... how much did they set you back? i gotta have a set after seeing those so i guess it really doesnt matter. wonder if my kooks long tubes off the goat would would work??

Damien · 11-20-2009, 12:14 PM

What the heck kind of radiator are you looking at. If I spent that much on a radiator it better have at least an engine and trans connected to it, if not a whole truck!

3r!c84 · 11-20-2009, 03:24 PM

why didnt you clean up the motor and paint it?
