Re: Project "Steppin Wolf" LS swap
Ok so my driveshaft is waaay too short to even consider an extended yoke. I'm looking at Denny's driveshaft but $300 is gonna tap me out till next payday so does anyone know of a cheaper place to get a custom driveshaft???

Re: Project "Steppin Wolf" LS swap
find a local heavy truck repair shop. most have the capability to build the driveshaft you need. ITP(inland truck parts) is a big chain. i'm sure in your neck of the woods there is something similar.

Re: Project "Steppin Wolf" LS swap
Measure up the length you need and hit the local pick n pull. There might be something there you can use.

Re: Project "Steppin Wolf" LS swap
I took some time off work to complete my swap but due to circumstances out of my control, I ended up having to drive back and forth to south carolina and north carolina all weekend and didnt get to finish. The good new is that my wifes aunt who was hospitalized after multiple heart attacks is doing much better and Im thankful for that!
I DID manage to get some stuff done on Steppin Wolf before all this happened though so I'll post it up!

Re: Project "Steppin Wolf" LS swap
The brown trigger wire for the Alternator should go to the PCM, looks like that's already hooked up in your harness.
Otherwise the red wire from the charge post is hooked to the battery feed to the truck. |

Re: Project "Steppin Wolf" LS swap
First off, I had to get a custom driveshaft made. Local shop did the driveshaft out of 3.5 inch tubing conplete with yoke and ujoints for $280 out the door! Suppossed to be good to around 600hp and I hope so cause once I get my cam swap and the nitrous installed I should be close to that on the bottle....hopefully!

Re: Project "Steppin Wolf" LS swap
Also got my fuel lines ran
This is for those of you who have never dealt with braided hose and are afraid of it...its not that big of a deal really cut it off with a cutoff wheel to minimize fraying,and be sure to wrap it tight with duct tape...should come out like this ![]() push it into the base fitting and twist a little till it bottoms out then dont forget to put a little lubricant into the hose before screwing in the end....ALWAYS USE PROPER LUBRICANT!!! I cant stress this enough. lmfao!! ![]() Whan you're screwingf the ends on, you dont have to use these aluminum wrenches...I just happen to find one on sale for $5 the other day....I usually just use two regular wrenches and put a little masking tape inside to keep from scuffing the fittings. The important thing is that you dont try to over tighten them or they WILL strip.....they're just aluminum people! ![]() And this is what you should end up with ![]() And heres the finished product ran to my vette filter/regulator and then to my as of yet unmounted blazer tank. ![]()
