Re: Another way to skin the cat; the High Torque 292 LS swap
Great job on the AC. You said for the discharge line you started with a line from a 2003 Tahoe, what about the components for the suction line? Is the compressor block and short hard line a factory part or did you get it from something else?
All in all it looks good!

Thanks! I'll start with what I intended to do instead of what I actually did (because it would have been easier). I removed the end of the factory Tahoe suction hose and was just going to use a weld on bead lock adapter similar to the discharge line. But, I ordered the wrong fittings for that. The factory suction line is #12 instead of #10 like most aftermarket/universal setups. What you'd need is the end of the factory hose (with the block to attach to the compressor), a #12 weld on bead lock fitting, a #12 hose to #10 male o ring fitting, and about 3 feet of number 12 hose to make the suction line. Now, for your original question, in a mad scramble to find a solution that didn't involve waiting another week for fittings, I bought the 180* #10 beadlock fitting that you see in the pictures locally and used that short compressor block hard line that I had squirreled away from some past project. I honestly don't remember where it came from, but I think it came in a kit from Doc's Blocks. Unfortunately, they no longer sell retail. |

Re: Another way to skin the cat; the High Torque 292 LS swap
May be too late for that up grade on the ECM, I will be happy if I can get the compressor to turn on and off!
I do have a trianary switch mounted to the drier and will need to look up the schematic to see how it is wired

Re: Another way to skin the cat; the High Torque 292 LS swap
this is exactly how an LS swap should look. I'm really impressed with the subtle fabrications you did. Great work!

Wow love this build. I like how the motor looks stock. I'm sure people give it a double take at cruise nights��

Re: Another way to skin the cat; the High Torque 292 LS swap
Every time this thread pops up, it makes me want to rip the 5.3/4l60e out of my old '99 that is just sitting there and drop it in the Blazer looking similar to this. Unfortunately, I have too much money wrapped up in a new SBC to abandon that course. I just love the look and functionality of this, maybe on the next one.
