just need small misc pieces. truck starter, belt, fluids, and that exhaust piece at your house. called you a few times to drop off your drillbits and scoop it up, figured you were busy

 

Yeah I'm switching jobs as of the first of the year so vie been busy. Swing by tonight if you want.

 

i would prob end up paying more than $1500 for someone to cut and weld up piping and a intercooler than i would for his kit.

 

**** didnt see this till now. can i swing by tomorrow? call/text me when you see this babygirl

 

Majority of ls1 swap kits, require customs headers from the makers.

 

So if i'm reading all this correctly is basically that regarding cost w/ ls1 prob round 8-10k done right, and 10-14k or so w/ a ls2. Both require the use of a gto t56 to match up location wise. We're still pending a pnp fix for retaining the stock tach unless using hinson electronics, no solid easy button for retaining stock ac function. Long story short the mechanical side of things is basically sorted w/ any of the kits available. The pain in the *** as is normal is stemming from wiring issues for the most part.

 

Your right about the cost part you can also use truck motors lq4 and la9 versions that will work with the mounts.

You can use a f-body transmission you just need to get the GTO shifter lever which is the little machined part the shifter actually rest in, they are around 100$ and can be switched out in 10 min. If you use the F-body one you will only have 1,3,5, and Reverse lol.

The company i work for is finishing up the testing on the tach and you can for sure make the stock tach work with a dakota digital unit.

There are no pain in the *** wiring issues if you use the correct harness. There are a couple of companies and individual wiring guys that offer swap harnesses that can make your harness plug and play and still have AC. AC is only two wires for the compressor. The problem people are having is they dont know where to get lines for. I had a company use GM lines for the compressor and clip style plugs for the factory condensor, it was just two lines 175$. It also depends on which motor and accessory drive you go with as to how long your AC lines would be. I have to get new lines because im moving the AC compressor up top and using a strata compressor to get clearance for a single turbo setup.

 

anyone got the updated sikky shifter yet?

 

Just called still in assembly and expected to ship out monday or tuesday

 

by the time you all see this, happy new year to my ls swapping brethren!

coming into 2012...my ***** still not done. hmpf

 

+1

Can't wait to finally have this damn thing running.

 

Happy New Year!!!

Getting more and more used to the car every week. Swapping the stock clutch fluid for some MOTUL has done wonders for the pedal and pressure. It now takes hard shifts... smiles and asks for more.

 

dang i need to find a girl like that

 

brew.....any updates on getting the stock tach to work with the gm ecu only?

 

bench tested and seems to read find but havent had time to plug everything in my car to double check, should have some time to test it out soon

 

About to post a new build for one of our customer's cars. I'll try to keep it informative so everyone can follow along.

 

Like that

 

DO you guys hack up the VQ harness when doing this install? If so, I am looking for a drivers side VVT solenoid connector with a a couple inches of pigtail attached. You'll never need it with the LS swap.

I need to rewire that cam phaser solenoid from the ECU and want to use a different connector since mine was buggered a while back.

Thanks!

 

We sell them messaged ^^^^
