Damn, I can feel the disheartenment(if that’s even a word) in this picture.it’s a bummer but at least you have options and can get it sorted.

**kev2809** · 10-06-2021, 07:56 AM

ya having no luck selling this yet though. I don't have Facebook so I posted on Craigslist, 5 miles, and offer up...no luck yet. I'm getting the front frame painted now along with the crossmember but that will be done by the weekend.

**kev2809** · 10-06-2021, 10:07 PM

cleaned it up the best I could and brushed on some mastercoat coating. going to work on the crossmember the next couple days and hope I can get it on by the weekend

BAD1916 · 10-07-2021, 12:40 AM

Looking good. My project is kind of in the same place right now. It would be nice if they went back together as fast as they came apart

**kev2809** · 10-07-2021, 08:29 PM

lol yup so easy to rip apart and the next thing I know I have parts laid across my yard for a year

**kev2809** · 10-15-2021, 12:45 PM

some of my pics don't want to upload....but anyways. got the crossmember sanded down and painted up and back on. 60 bucks in new grade 8 hardware

not sure which route I want to go down now, haven't had any bites on my donor truck so my motor issue is still at a stand still.

**kev2809** · 10-25-2021, 08:16 PM

well, got the old ugly truck and motor sold and pulled in the replacement. 2002 tahoe, dash says 211k. waiting on my jump starter I ordered so I can try to crank it and see how it sounds. pulled off the wrecked stuff already. this one looks so much cleaner than the yukon one

BAD1916 · 10-26-2021, 10:43 PM

Nice to hear the old one sold so you can keep moving forward��

**kev2809** · 10-27-2021, 06:54 AM

ya I slapped a battery on it and cranked it and it sounds pretty good. couldn't drive it since the trans lines were throwing oil everywhere lol.

gonna pick at it over the week and hopefully have it pulled by next week

**kev2809** · 10-31-2021, 05:39 PM

got it out and on the stand. started the minor teardown. going to order the gaskets mentioned above. hoping to have this motor dropped in within a few weeks but we will see.

**kev2809** · 10-31-2021, 05:41 PM

little grimey in the front and also looks like it had an oil pan gasket leak

Mine was the same way. I got lucky, I cleaned it all up and re-tightened the pan bolts and it quit leaking. Mine had some modifications done to it before I got it and I wonder if they forgot to go around and double check the bolts.

I don't think a few weeks is out of the question for a timeline unless you have trouble getting something you need.

Keep us posted on your progress.

ya I'm not worried about the pan anyways I have a holley knockoff for the ls swap to go on anyways so that gasket was getting changed. I ordered my gaskets last night, should be in by the end of the week. will be getting at the trans crossmember today hopefully so I can have it ready to redrill

Good deal.

My engine was an LS1 so I didn't have to change anything on it.

only reason for the pan change is because the air ride. believe the pan will hang too low.

I am chasing oil leaks on my 03 Yukon LS. Do you have any good pictures of the LH side of the engine?

**kev2809** · 11-10-2021, 05:21 PM

little update got the motor cleaned, painted, and resealed for the most part. going to work on getting the headers on, motor mounts, then fix the leaky seal on the trans and they should be ready to mate back up

sure what exactly are u looking at? I can snap some pics and post em

BigBird05 · 11-12-2021, 09:18 AM

I am leaking a lot of oil. Are there any sensors or anything else on the LH side where it could be coming from. I already replaced them crank sensor seal.

the only sensor on that side is the coolant sensor for the ecm. is your leak coming from the top? only thing I can think of is valve cover or oil pan...?

BigBird05 · 11-13-2021, 09:20 AM

Thanks I know the vale covers are leaking and the rear main seal too. I am just trying to get all of the parts lined up so I only have to tear it down once.

**kev2809** · 11-13-2021, 02:20 PM

looking more like a motor

BAD1916 · 11-13-2021, 02:55 PM

Looking good!

**kev2809** · 11-13-2021, 03:22 PM

thanks my drill bit came in about 30 minutes ago so I drilled and tapped the head....this made me nervous lol

I'm not sure if the stock 67 sender will work though. when I get to the cluster, I will be modding it like ls1nova did with the s10 speedo. I will be adding a clock and camaro tach, and delete the circuit board and make a harness. so not sure if the idiot gauge temp sender is used or the 5 hole cluster temp sender. I believe they are 2 different ones?
