I would like to put a Ls2 and a 6 Speed Trans out of a 06 GTO need some information on this can auyone help

If you just seriously asked that, in this thread, you shouldn't even attempt the swap...

 

[TrailTamer1]

I just read through the 7 pages of this thread.

I am shooting for LQ4 or LQ9 in my 2002 BlaZeR-2
http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/
I think I will want the current performance to do the wiring to at least make it easier for me (even I can doit)

I had my trans rebuilt about 20k miles ago so I hope I will be ok here in most part. I am not 100% positive but will it be ok with approx 400 hp with transgo shift kit and corvette servos and a good cooler with stock torque converter? I believe the rebuilder reuse the stock sunshell (weak link) so I might have that replaced to a beast sunshell while its apart.

I readed all over here but I never saw anything or even let alone a picture of the modified trans crossmember. What exactly need to do about it? just for the trans swap to some thing different?

the fuel lines to hook up get me a little lost but I am pretty sure that I will get in the groove when I start on the swap.

I find that the grizzly university radiator seem to be the one to get for good cost and good sized as well.

I feel silly but I am hoping that I can find a way to use clutch fan (mechanical fan) after I pushed the radiator/condensors forward and modified hood latch assembly. Any highlight on this part?

Since mine's a 4x4 so I may have some issue with clearance with the oil pan but I am hoping that I can find a way to make it to fit probably with the LS2 oil pan. I have 2" body lift on her so I may have the engine lifted upward to 2" to have better clearance on the bottom end.

for the headers, I am kinda lost on this part.

In some of the pics posted here, I dont see any battery anywhere in the engine bay? looks like you guys relocated it to some other area of the truck? I think I will try to have the battery relocated to the area where the stock air cleaner normally sits while the new air intake/filter go into where the battery normally sits.

for the performance wise on the engine, I am shooting for some healthy 400 hp with mostly stock bottom end.
-LS6 camshaft
-aftermarket or dealer parts (undecided) springs, rocker arms and assorted parts for the valvetrains
-PCM tuned for maximum power and fuel effective

I found this link for the header and said that it will fit the 4wd blazer. the engine/trans mount may not work though as mine's a ZR-2. however holy cow nearly $900! http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HED-55861/?rtype=10

 

[Kampz69]

hmm, havent seen those headers before...interesting

EDIT: its more expensive because its got mounts and a tranny crossmember. the headers themselves are probably similar in price to their 2wd mids.

 

[Kampz69]

jegs lists the 4wd mids for $589. there are a couple threads of guys that did LSx swaps in ZR2s, youll have to search for them

 

[junkyardime]

Ok im doing this swap, Im dumbfounded about how the fuel system works. All i have is sender unit and tank. What all do i need from motor to tank to get the fuel system goin. I have return system. thanks

 

[TrailTamer1]

I has been searching for a while and I finally found this. Is this the one I am looking for?

I am trying to find "F-Body" exhaust manifold thats made of steel that I can modify it as needed to make it to fit.

[Kampz69]

those are the right year, but you want OEM 98-99 fbody manifolds. you may be able to cut those and modify them as needed, but the OEM pieces are far cheaper.

EDIT: here is a link for the style you want. this is for only one side and the price is outrageous, but it just for reference:

[TrailTamer1]

thanks, I will try to track them down on car-part.com as the eBay seem to be overpriced or hard to find.

 

[Kampz69]

car-part would be a good resource. also check LS1tech, they are usually on there often

So a friend of mine has a 86 s10 and he currently has a 350 small block in it. He picked up a early 2000 5.3 for it and a 4l60e transmission. He wants to put it in the s10, and I haven't seen where anyone with the first gen s10 has done this. I assume its the same as the blazer, so should he get round coil pack for the back and a H3 oil pan? Also we are gonna be turboing it with a single turbo, and need some places to look for good headers, hopefully 304 stainless. Going to flip the headers to run up front and make it join to a t4 housing. Should be fun, and If I can get a few pointers, I would like to share the build with you guys. Looking at runing about 10psi or 12.

i have a 03' ext. cab 2.2l. and want to do the ls1 swap. im planning on putting in an automatic ls1 tranny since the truck stock has an automatic. any tips or ideas to help make this swap as straight forward as possible? thanks =]

some guy asked this question earlier in this thread and never got an answer,
what is the difference between the 98 -2000 and the 01+ 4.3 throttle cable and cruise cont. cable?

 

[BlueCalx]

I've read all of this thread, and the LXx Conversion Info sticky - and have a couple of questions and concerns I'd like to ask before I start my swap. (I've got an '87 S-15 with a 2.8 and auto trans in it - and will be going w/ an ls1 and auto trans swap.)

I understand that there are modifications to be done to the fuel system, but most if not all of the replies and comments in this thread address a more modern 2.2L engine and fuel system. Will the walbro 255 in-tank fuel pump work for my application? I believe the fuel pump on my '87 is beside the engine... I believe I'll need a wiring harness for an in-tank pump - or should I just use an in-line fuel pump under the truck?

I'll be getting my wiring harness from CPW, and plan on using the Sanden a/c compressor they sell as well. I'll of course tell them of my plans. Will I need any additional adapters or connectors to ensure the compressor and a/c system works properly?

 

[BlueCalx]

I just remembered something else I had thought of -

Since the speedo is cable driven and the other gauges are junk - is there a nice simple cluster that an aftermarket company makes (for an '87) ? I've seen some custom made ones that diy'ers do with 4 or 5 round faced gauges, but to me that looks a little to pieced-together.

 

[zaranx]

since i am very very interested in how you did it was wondering if you could post how you got your 5.3 to get 30 mpg on a sticky?

 

[philntx]

Hey guys, this is a sticky....Meaning a reference page.

If you have questions about your project, why not start a new thread with them?

X2 on this question as I would like to know as well.
