The Official LS Swap Info/Questions Thread

It would be extremely easy to design an A/C bracket to mount the stock Z compressor. The only downside is that there are so many different belt layouts for the LS motor, it will be hard to make it universal.
#103
Are all the LS2 setups the same? There seems to be several LS1 setups. Can the accessories be moved around to be in the same place on all the blocks?

I was thinking the same thing.. then I thought screw everyone else, I will make what works for my setup and the world can conform to me. That may be wrong

Yes they can all be moved around but that involves buying a new crank pulley, new cast brackets and in some cases a new water pump.

I think a standard should be set for both LS1's and LS2's. Let's have some sort of committee on this and hash out the standards so that from here on out any LS swapper knows EXACTLY what to buy.

Hey guys, im pretty new to the forum. I spend most my time just surfing the forum. Im saving for this swap but im having a hard time finding an ls2/t56 drop out. Those who have made the purchase, where are you guys buying and whats an average price to pay?

If you have some time, put in some calls and just wait and you will get what you need. Also, you can troll on ls1tech.com in the classifieds for a setup as well. IMO its harder to find the full dropout there with the matching components like the harness and ECU.

Sold my TT kit today... ordered all my SIKKY components today as well. They had a tracking number to me in less than an hour. The customer service is everything I have heard it was.
I may ask a friend of mine from a local machine shop to stop by and see if he can measure out the brackets to fab up. If he can do it I will see about pricing to have 5-10 sets made.

I think someone should just come out with a kit to mount the stock Z/G accessories like did.

Nice!! My car looks just like that but on jack stands in my garage.
The first two SIKKY boxes showed up yesterday, one day shipping FTW!! Rest of the kit should be here today. I will send the LS ECU to JE Imports to have the vats disabled and then hopefully start looking at putting things together soon.

I grabbed mine off of Ebay from LKQ for $6600 shipped. From trolling ebay I also found a few other places and put in calls and emails and they have called back when they found what I was looking for originally.
