Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
today we repositioned the engine, I think I'm happy with it. tomorrow we'll make it permanent! I think I've been screwed on the intake! I sent him $400, he hasn't answered my email in 5 days. going to contact paypal tomorrow!

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
I finally sourced an LS1 intake (minus injectors and rails). Gonna require some creativity With belt routing, the idler pulley interferes With the throttle body.
This is the belt routing we need

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
This is the belt routing we need IOT use the car intake! And we finished painting the intake today.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
theres not alot of belt contact on the crank pulley. Usually at 2/3rds of the pulley is in contact with the belt. So under high load from either the ac or alternator could cause belt slippage. Also which direction does the water pump normally turn on the LS? Ive never looked into one, so re-routing the belt might alter the direction of the pumps rotation.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
we kept running into clearance problems, in the end we decided it would be way easier to rework the truck harness

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
Here’s the harness after 2 hours of removing plastic sheathing and tape. The Second pic is the pile of what we removed.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
The first couple pics are the firewall starting to get welded up. The next few are of the harness coming together, and the last is the leftovers.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
Wow, sure am glad I decided to just get the Terminator X Max kit for my LS. Pretty cables all ready to install. A little worried about some reviews that the wires are too short. We'll see!

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
yeah, I bought a harness for this one but it was for a car intake and wouldn’t fit! Wound up modding one anyway

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
1.This is the rat's nest of wires we’re dealing with, it’s ever so much harder explaining what to do than to just do it yourself!
2. Here JP combined 2,4,6,8 injecor power into 1 wire 3. Here we are beginning to pin the red and blue connectors, every wire must be lengthened or shortened. All 160 of them!

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
My hat is off to you, as I have no idea what/how you are doing this.
This is why I like carburetors and distributors, and LS motors (computer controlled) scare me.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
They really aren’t that scary, once you understand the function of each sensor. A Wiring harness conversion is actually way simpler than this. But I absolutely hate having the harness run in the side of the motor and I hate the PCM being under hood!

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
I love them, I buy them in 100 packs on eBay for like $10. Saves tons of time over solder/heat shrink.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
Skymangs, you make it sound simple, but all those wires intimidates me so much that I stay away from computer controlled engines.
Well done, and like I said before, I tip my hat to you.

Re: Orson the 49 GMC ~ Chris C.
ha, ha! I used to be that way, but I realized that the future of hot rodding was LS Engines. And if you’re not growling you’re dying. So it was critical that I learned it!
