I LS swapped my rig 5 years ago and for some reason was holding onto this powertrain in case I wanted to get another cruiser and have a spare powertrain. I need to just let this go though. It had 303,000 at the time of being pulled and the engine smoked some bad. Would need the head gone through...

I wanted a straight forward braking system and a strong one at that. While I didn't follow the thread to a tee, I found this thread incredibly helpful:Yet another LSPV/ABS delete how to...

Finished up my exhaust for the LS swap. 3" mild steel so I went ahead and painted the tubing with a high temp paint. Resonator and muffler are stainless so I left them alone. Three 02 bungs: 2 for the LS ECU and one for the AEM A/F ration gauge.

Mocking up my trans and engine. This, right now, is my front driveshaft/oil pan clearance. I havent had much luck creating more space there. How much more room do you guys think is necessary to prevent any rubbing?

I’m installing a shifter out of a (I think) 94’ cruiser, because of the extra shift you get with them. It seems there’s no stopper in between D and 3rd gear though. Can’t you accidentally shift into 3rd going 70mph?

So I think I understand this but just to be clear I'm checking in here. I'm working on wiring up the oil pressure sender on my 5.3 LM7 swap. The diagram I posted shows that the white wire comes straight from the combination meter and the brown wire is volatage. You cant see from the image but I...

Looking on Cruiser Outfitters and it seems our options for bushings are aftermarket rubber, OEM rubber, and Poly. Can anyone recommend one over the others? I was leaning towards OEM but the cost is freakin up there..

Great info! Luckily I'm swapping in a v8 and am doing a custom exhaust

How did you guys convert fuel lines to AN? I can't find metric to AN adapters anywhere :bang:

Thanks for your input, gentlemen. I guess ill be ordering up a kit soon!

I'm considering a 1" body lift to help clear the new motor I'm swapping in from hitting the hood. I currently have a Dobinsons 2" lift installed. As the title states, did anyone notice any ill effects in driving after the install? I only ask because after I did a 1" body lift on a 4runner the...

-Did you put a hood scoop on to cover it up? -I'm running a 2" lift from Dobinsons so I'm all good there

To all LS swap guys who used the original truck intake! I mocked up the motor today and bolted it in using the original bolt holes on the crossmember to to see what was going on. The motor is a little crooked, I believe the bolt holes need to be moved to the passenger side to account for that...

figured out my PCM issue... I wasn't giving power to ignition :bang: essentially the computer thought the key wasn't turned. I'm dumb.

Sure did
