Do you have any pictures of the shifter interface in the cab? Does this line up with the stock shifter location?

 

curious about the headers....they're not on the site yet (although i'm sure they will be soon).

that and tag for more info as updates are shared.

 

no love for header info?

 

Hinson makes headers for the swap.

 

Oh I know they do. But two major things stand in the way of buying from them:

1. They have a track record almost as bad as AAM on this site; orders are never complete and often have completely wrong items included. Their customer service is reminiscent of trying to get anything done by any employee of the state of maryland. No, scratch that, Maryland is easier to deal with.

2. Sikky is local.

 

Sikky does make headers, just give them a call..

 

The engine has a a/c Compressor on it... does the kit support a/c?

 

7 tries no answer.

 

I had the same issue getting a hold of Sikky when I was looking at their kit so I made my own...

 

that's strange? We did have some phone troubles around that time. It could have been not during our business hours. We can't get every call so we recommend leaving a message and then we will promptly call you back. Sorry for any inconvenience.

So the big question is how about the A/C? Does it work will it work. Speedometer and tach can be swapped in the cluster that does not bother me. But being in the desert I would need and want a/c. Swap the nissan compressor on the ls or use the ls tied into the nissan lines? I would also want the truck 6.0 liter with a 4l60e. Because im cheap. Will your headers work on the truck 6.0 or 5.3 heads?

 

AC will work, currently we have used custom lines. We are finishing up an AC line kit that will make it plug and play. The people currently running the kit have just welded GM ends to there Nissan lines and hooked it up. Pretty simple, but we have designed a line setup for the people that don't want to deal with welding the lines.

The truck motor will work, the trans bracket we currently offer in the kit is for the T56 only. We should have a bracket done for the 4160e in about a month.

We would need someone to test the header fitment with the 5.3 heads on a 6.0, don't know if we have tested that combo but odds are good it will fit.

 

Are you using the stock power steering line that goes to the top of the rack? It looks like it is not installed in the above pictures.

 

Sikky - Really ambitious and totally amazing setup.

I would like to understand how you go about interfacing ecu and such.

What range of ls motors works with the swap?

 

Wow. Very nice. Looking GOOD.
