What is that billet piece behind the throttle body and where did you get it. The motor I have has an open hole right there and I need to get that piece.

Here's mine. It's only mocked up at this point but it will be an LS2/Tremec RS500 when it's done.

Where did you get your engine/coil covers?

Mine, 68 C20 with 2005 5.3 and 4l60e. I think the truck intake is pretty, with its makeup on. It does its job just fine, so its not getting changed. HartRod, your building a nice collection of 67-72's. Like this one too.

eagleuh1....what hose fitting is that you are using for the steam line to connect to the heater hose?

looks good 60apache! What accessory drive/compressor backet is that?

Its a flush and fill tee, that I drilled a hole in and forced a barbed hose fitting through and jb welded to seal it to the cap. I can take the cap on and off the tee, hose is held on with FI hose clamp. This goes in one of the heater hoses up high on the inner fender. Works good for cheap fix.

my radiator had a extended fitting (out about 1.5-1.75in) on my 4 core radiator on the rad cap side, just above (or below, can't remember) the top trans cooler line. I opened it up and when I shine a light into the hole I can see it on the front side of the radiator so its going straight into the main portion of the radiator and not the trans cooler. It took a 1/4" NPT fitting as I recall. Anyway...my steam vent line is now plumbed to the radiator at a point higher then the fittings exit from the motor.

and fyi....on the LS2 in our TrailBlazer SS, the steam line attaches to the radiator line as yours does...though it is to a T in a metal pipe, like an a/c hose...thats well below the steam vents exit near valley pan level.

That is the same place i put mine. Also the same place the 07 chevy Z71 4x4 i used to drive for work put the steam line right from the factory.

I like them all it Looks like some very clean swaps you guys have done. I have a question has anyone used solid mounts to mount their motors or transmissions I built some for my ls swap but am reconsidering now that i have the motor back out from the mocking up proccess on my ls/s10 55 truck project.

Here's mine, not pretty, but hopefully it goes.

[67C10BUB]

I'm sure it will go. Every time I drive my truck I am so glad I did my swap.

[68GMCCustom]

Looks great!


Reminds me of a twin turbo build I've seen..... where the alternator was also painted/powdercoated to match.

[menace121978]

Looks like pretty good work to!

[72mike]

Almost done. but here's a preview.

[RatRod68]

My pride and joy. I love this truck more than life itself

[SeventyTwo]

Amazing!!! Such a clean looking truck!

[amoore1972]

What year is the LS you used ? Do you have Factory AC ? If so, did you have to relocate the AC compressor high passenger side ? Can't tell from the pics.. Also is your alternator down low drivers side ?

This is my 72 K5. 350/SM465/NP205 about to do my first LS swap.

Stumbled out of the gate a bit but today will be much better.
