Finished LS1 swap

jinusow · 08-06-2006, 01:04 AM

Finished my ls1 project today. This s10 is so fun to drive it should be illegal. I have some minor things to finish like blower and moving wires and trimming plastic. It is hard to get into reverse and when backing up for 100+ft the clutch really works you over. Car shows? Yes, I will be going to the hotrod super nationals and maybe the import truck bash. I think my passenger can tell you how the ride is. Is this a hard swap? yes to do it right. is it worth the money? To me yes.

Bad Ass

Cronos · 08-06-2006, 01:34 AM

wholy crap, spiderman! everyone is doin a gen iii swap!! loox awesome bro

jinusow · 08-06-2006, 02:21 AM

Yeah at this rate I believe people will be getting 2nd and 3rd owner ls1's pretty soon. Look at it this is the engine to have in all of motorsports. It gets great gas mileage for v8's, limitless horsepower, lightweight, aftermarket is catching up with the basic 350 parts(except they charge a ton for ls1), your stock gauges work on newer gm's. I don't know if you've been watching but boyd's had 3-4 lsx engines in his customs on TV. Powerblock TV has 3 right now on the TV plus the power adder shows on Horsepower and Trucks they've done in the past. Besides every new gm motor is going to be lsx for quite a long time with current engines being the 6.2 and the 7.0. Oh yes even spiderman drives a lsx powered vehicle.

JROD Jr. · 08-06-2006, 03:24 AM

looks awsome man. any mods to it right now or future mods going into the motor or drivetrain? also what year is all your stuff out of?

jinusow · 08-06-2006, 03:56 AM

Late post for the night. Nope, not really don't care to modify the engine. Before doing and spending I though about the small twin turbo setup for 750 hp. After finishing the swap I really don't care to do it. Can you imagine the intercoolers setup it would work but the tubes would really look crazy and take a cowl. Not even counting all the engine upgrades it would take. Someone will do it I'm sure just not me. Maybe just heads springs covers and cam but not for awhile.

Years for stuff is

00 5.7l ls1 motor trans
not sure year maybe 2005 corvette ls2 oil pain screen dip stick
85-89 corvette radiator
2.8 motor mounts
99 camaro manifold
98+ corvette accessories
99 camaro fuel intank fuel pump with regulator

The 99 camaro parts have to be that year because manifold can be welded and I wanted a intank regulator.

JROD Jr. · 08-06-2006, 04:07 AM

I assume the t56 is outta a 00 also? how many miles? What was teh total cost of the swap roughly?

bluedragonx · 08-06-2006, 04:41 AM

Yeah, the third gens are in, now. Still, I like my TPI build. Big plans for my next build...

Verz · 08-06-2006, 05:07 AM

yes sir! that is sexy, got the same plans with a few minor bolt ons to run power up to bout 400hp and im good. Ever thought of doing a rear mounted turbo setup? No need for an intercooler and you wont take up any more room under the hood.

hutchS-10 · 08-06-2006, 12:49 PM

yeah I bet that was alot but it looks so good does your obd2 still function

jinusow · 08-06-2006, 06:53 PM

yeah alot of $$$ I went from 2.2l 5speed to the ls1 t56. jared from current performance did the wiring harness and the only gauge that doesn't work is fuel it doesn't give the right reading. I'm sure its the wrong sending unit thats causing the problem. I plan to drive it for a week or two and then run the predator on it. Better get the ricer 5-point harness installed

91sonomast · 08-06-2006, 07:03 PM

awesome man that looks great

low98 · 08-06-2006, 07:13 PM

that is very nice...and about how much did that cost?

The gauge shouldn't be off... what size is your tank? The Predator program is already installed, running it again isn't going to do anything unless you make changes.

**NCRides** · 08-06-2006, 08:00 PM

Nice job congrats !

I have check engine and secruity lights on. I need to run dianostic on it using the predator. The fuel gauge does move but it shows 3/4 tank when I had a full tank. I think its the 16 gallon tank and I'm using a camaro fuel pump unit. I guess my last message kinda sounds like I blame you for the bad reading guage. No the wiring harness has everything running great.

***CPWire*** · 08-06-2006, 08:43 PM

okay, I can make an adjustment to the file for you and email it if you wanna pick up the serial cable to connect the Predator to your PC and a power supply. Just take the Predator to Radio shack and they can get you what you need.

j894 · 08-06-2006, 10:32 PM

Nice!

JYD · 08-07-2006, 02:02 AM

how do the seats fit? does the headrest part of the seat hit the rear window? hows the legroom? i put some eclipse seats in mine, but they were too tall and the top pressed against the glass, therfore i had to sit too close to the wheel.

lowriderbowtie · 08-07-2006, 03:29 AM

I plan on doing that same swap in my 2.2 5spd xtreme.
very very nice man

Yeah the seats set close too close for most people but I'm a short guy and the seats don't bother me. Anyone over 6ft tall knees are in there chest or the jammed in the dash. I want to make this clear for everyone doing the t56 your passenger seat may get in the way for reverse to the point that it won't go in or pops out. I have to hold it firmly to keep it in reverse.

motopsychoz · 08-07-2006, 07:51 PM

Did you use the s10 master cylinder and join the two lines to the t56?

bitchin sonoma · 08-07-2006, 08:12 PM

Did you buy the engine and every thing new!!I am in the process of getting a good used one with the tranny!But, how much did you spend in all total.I need to make sure I that I will have all the money to put one on my truck, which has a 4 crapper.

99S10Truckin · 08-08-2006, 10:51 AM

what seats are those?

jinusow · 08-08-2006, 02:06 PM

8-10k for my swap

Summit Seats

Not Springfield, Missouri but Springfield, Illinois

http://familyevents.com/eventinfo.asp?id=82

Well, I can make one long trip this year cause gas might be going up again. Hell, $4.50/gallon and you'll have to drive to my neighborhood to see it. It's pretty wild where I live my neighbors have a bradley gt with maroon metal flake, there's two show quailty buggies, a red ford coupe, 3 miles down the road a chevelle with 400 trans and cream color leather interior, and then two guys are part of the dodge rumble bees club, The smartest of use has 2 05-06 his/hers true vespas.

Were all the parts new?Or did you buy them use?

ShuggsRR · 08-10-2006, 03:23 PM

The parts are all new. After thinking about it I thought what would the window sticker look like if GM made this engine an option. So, I made the sticker see you later colorado.

**BUCKET** · 08-10-2006, 04:16 PM

nice, how did you make the sticker. I want the underhood one with the 5.3 and serpintine routing for under my hood.

I made it with paint and just looking at my original window sticker. I think I can find the serpinitine drive sticker have you checked ebay for one by chance. If I can make one I'll post it here or pm you.

snafu584 · 08-15-2006, 02:08 AM

sweet man. im working on a 2.2 ls1 swap. What oil pan are you using because the 2 different ones i got hit the frame. i dont really want to notch it tho. We cut the oil pan but I dont think it will work

ask jyd what to do . haha

you will have to notch the frame if you use the ls2 pan or the truck pan .

jinusow · 08-16-2006, 11:32 AM

Here's where the oil pan sets above the crossmember. I'm not sure how else to say you won't have to worry about damaging the pan. No, I did not modify the pan at all cause the cost of ls2 oilpan screen and dipstick is the same as buying a modified oil pan. Notice the drain plug hangs just about over the crossmember. When draining the oil I will have to place something under it so that I don't have a mess of oil on the crossmember and lines.

looks like the way to go theses days !

floridasfinests10 · 08-16-2006, 09:25 PM

aside from the pan & dip stick was anything else replaced???

floridasfinests10 · 08-18-2006, 09:26 AM

can anyone confirm if this ls2 oil pan should be the gto? or vette?? i'm gettin diffent responces.... or if anyone knows if they are the same???

gmax111 · 08-30-2006, 08:36 AM

did u use vette a/c bracket?
what about rear end?

v8power · 08-30-2006, 11:24 PM

heres one I did a few years ago.

s10-den · 08-31-2006, 06:21 PM

thats just badass

s10-den · 08-31-2006, 06:27 PM

just a simple(well I hope)question for all you ls1ers,is the harnesses made for you pretty simpel as far as plug and play.I am not going to lie,im scared,lol.I just got home from ST.Louis on a 2 1/2 month-7 days a week working spree and am taking off for awile and I am finally going to do my truck(aint decided on my 97 or my 92) ls1 style.Sold my other street/race truck and am going to either have a bunch of parts or a ls1 truck that runs.

Noremac · 03-28-2007, 10:47 PM

did you run a/c???? i am seriously looking into doing the exact swap, and trying to figure out all the details.

as far as the cross member, did you or did you not notch it? i cannot understand from what you posted above...

p.s. old thread, i know

Yeah, um
No A/C
no cruise control
no heater
no cats
no erg
only 2 o2 sensors
crossmember was notched about a 1/2-1 inch
Rear end was a 7 5/8 went before the oil change.
Upgrading to a ford 9" 4.11 truetrac with disks.

Other than that engine and trans puts plenty of power to the ground. I've said this before a "M6 is an explosive you use to open up 10 bolts."

s10-den · 03-29-2007, 09:18 AM

Old thread,but nice ass conversion!

BudRacing · 03-29-2007, 10:38 PM

Is there a way to keep cruise control?

Noremac · 03-29-2007, 11:39 PM

yeah, i have been reading up on this, and you can purchase a plug and play harness that will allow you to keep all stock features, like a/c cruise, and even use your stock tach and speedo

The parts are all new. After thinking about it I thought what would the window sticker look like if GM made this engine an option. So, I made the sticker see you later colorado.

I'm not sure how else to say you won't have to worry about damaging the pan. No, I did not modify the pan at all cause the cost of ls2 oilpan screen and dipstick is the same as buying a modified oil pan. Notice the drain plug hangs just about over the crossmember. When draining the oil I will have to place something under it so that I don't have a mess of oil on the crossmember and lines.
