Re: Calling all LS1 converted trucks.
I have barely started mine. I have been trying to get everything I need before I started. So far I am at $3200 for everything except the fuel pump, upper and lower radiator hoses, and exhaust mods. I am keeping my 350 turbo tranny and putting a 2001 LS1 in the truck. I have bought the harness, engine and a 70 chevy( for parts) for $1500. The rest has been misc. parts and odds and ends for the motor.....oh throw about $500 in tools in there too. I will have parts for sale once I am done. Man my garage is full!!!!!!
I had to buy a spacer for the tranny and a flywheel. Bought the harness and pcm with a fuse box all together. PCM is programmed to my tranny, tire size and gear ratio. Wiring harnes has all emitions codes gone except for the top two O2 sensors. I am hoping to spend less than $4000 on everything once complete. I am doing all the work myself. I will post a conversion thread once complete with the part numbers that I remember or have. Be prepaired for some work if you are doing it your self!!! ![]() |

Re: Calling all LS1 converted trucks.
Jkade, got any pointers as to where you get your killer deals? I am looking for an LS1 or LS2 (basically 2002 or newer) with a 4L60E or 4L80E tranny. I need the whole package, wiring harness computer and all if possible.

Re: Calling all LS1 converted trucks.
There was a complete C4 Corvette on Craigs List a while back with rear end damage for $5000. I think I will end up going that route and get all my suspension/brakes/steering/engine/trans in one fat package.
I figure if I make a couple bucks off what's left after I pull everything I need off, then it's a bonus.

Re: Calling all LS1 converted trucks.
c4= LT1 not LS1.
i totalled up my build so far (not including paint, and other smaller things) and i have a little under 15,000$$ in it... and i think shiftys right, i dont even really take cost into consideration when i want/need a part....so i/you could do another swap (not a frame off) for around 5-10 grand.... heres some pics http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=195643 |

Re: Calling all LS1 converted trucks.
In response to the radiator hose question........I used a radiator from a 95 chevy truck with a 4.3 v6 and the factory 5.3 liter hoses fit. The bottom hose had to be cut a few inches shorter. I do not have a/c right now, but I am adding it, so I swapped the v6 radiator for a copper radiator that fits the truck with smaller hose inlets. I will post the part number soon as well as some pictures of my swap.

Re: Calling all LS1 converted trucks.
me and my brothers were gonna put a 6.0 in my brother skylark but after we got a regular truck one my brother said he wanted an aluminum so we grabbed him an aluminum one and then he turns around a buys a 455 for it and now my older brother and I are sittin on a couple 6 liters and not sure what to put them in since we put 5.7 vortec engines in our hot rods but mabe ill put one in my next truck but I hate all the wiring. good luck to everyone who is putting one in now and great job to everyone who already has one hooked up.

Re: Calling all LS1 converted trucks.
Regardless of whether you have a LQ or LS engine, can the work be done the same? Meaning can the same people create a wiring harness, reprogram the ECU, etc?
Shifty, I'd like to go the same route as you with the T56. Time and money will tell. |

Re: Calling all LS1 converted trucks.
I really like those valve covers. Do you have any pics of his coil mounting solution?
