OK, thanks! Since our trucks are similar, I'm trying to imagine mine with 20's.

Beautiful truck... She should really haul the mail when all said and done.

ArmyAviator-67C10 · 11-03-2012, 09:34 PM

Tank came in, looks good, going to install it next week.

Boyds Welding, EFI Stealth Aeromotive 340 Pump.

Purchased Part # WIX-33737 (Corvette Regulator/Filter) Combo to manage the PSI and minimize the amount of return line to the tank.

Had the wheels for a while, Im guessing here and will measure later but I think its 4.5

ArmyAviator-67C10 · 11-10-2012, 11:31 AM

Had to take some time from build because of Ol' Uncle Sam, I have the be cool radiator in and the gas tank from Boyd's.

Need some help on the steam vents, I know NOTHING about this, can anyone explain where to plumb to / from. Do not want to go to the dealer to ask this question

Mounts are from PacePerformance, link below;

HD03846 HEDMAN 1967-72 GM 1/2 TON TRUCK 2WD LS ENGINE CONVERSION KIT FOR USE WITH 4L60E / 65E TRANSMISSIONS

They dont budge, should see lots of torque to the wheels!

For all going the WIX route you are going to need the following fitting from Russell; #640940 (about $9.00)

Thanks for the assist - going to run it to the radiator, didn't order a radiator with a fitting installed for the steam but will tap one in so the steam can return to the cooling system

ArmyAviator-67C10 · 11-17-2012, 09:51 PM

My booster set-up, out of a 72 (i think) is old, as I had to rework a few brake lines I noticed some were in really bad shape (+ big booster looks bad next to the new, clean LS3) Anyone have any experience with Hydraulic Assist systems? Specifically the CPP kit?

ArmyAviator-67C10 · 11-17-2012, 10:10 PM

Power Steering - Ok when you are doing your swap consider the difference in the GEN II power steering pump to the old GM Power Steering box.... quick fix, w/o asking the expensive diesel guys to mock some up....

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/su...0/media/images

Summit Racing® Power Steering Line Kits SUM-G3160

Hose, Power Steering, GM Type II Pump to GM Power Steering Box, Kit haven't installed it yet but should work....

C10_ustacould · 12-20-2012, 08:15 PM

Anything new happening?

DKclassis72 · 03-27-2013, 04:43 PM

have any picks of your power steering hook up install? I'm having issues with mine.

thanks!

ArmyAviator-67C10 · 08-15-2014, 07:26 PM

Sorry, been a terrible website user. The LS3 is awesome, better on gas when my foot isn't in it. No rubbing on the 4.5/6 drop, BE COOL Radiator and dual fans keep it cool even in 90°+ weather, and the BAER brakes/ Hydraulic Assist stop the truck on

a dime (tested here on I95 a couple of times)

My granddad and I had done that engine back in 1997, it had served me faithfully, but was due to die soon; it was my highschool engine and served me well even under the brut force of a 16 year old foot.

Alright, purchased an LS376/480hp connect & cruise engine from PacePerformance with a few accessories.

Looking at two issues thus far... my fuel (tank) and my gauge set up. Any recommendations?

Right now running with a rear fill, rear-mounted tank I bought from LMC truck (21 gal) about 7 yrs old. Would like to continue to use it but don't know if there is a kit out there to convert to an internal pump or external pump that wont quit on me every 15-20k miles and wont cost what a new fuel cell will cost

And the gauges... thinking about www.dakotadigital.com or a www. http://boeseengineering.com setup, see website (67-72) dash clusters.

HELP ME OUT!

That will be one very nice truck when it is finished. Use the corvette Walbro
in- tank pump. Very reliable if you use the sock on the inlet.

Thanks - purchased a tank from Boydswelding - included an in-tank Aeromotive Stealth 340 pump

SierraMtns · 08-16-2014, 11:21 AM

How are you liking the LS compared to the 400?

Looking back on it now how was the swap? Anything you would do different?

C10_ustacould · 08-16-2014, 11:25 AM

Very nice, glad to hear the swap went well.

The swap was awesome - do your research as I did, made the world of difference. There are enough after market items out here that you don't have to waste time fabricating brackets, mounts, etc.

I would look at doing a manual if I lived in a more rural area but happy with the 4L70E. Also the corvette stock regulator/filter is good but Im going to change it out to a more robust regulator.

ATL Powder · 08-16-2014, 01:13 PM

Just a beautiful stepper, mine will be similar when finished, can't wait.

**nlped** · 08-16-2014, 04:21 PM

Gorgeous truck.
