wayne_smith97 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Anyone have any experience doing an LS swap. There is an article that makes it sound super easy. http://www.hotrodlane.cc/PDFFILES/Lisa%20Tahoe.pdf My motor now has 170K miles and I'm thinking about gathering the ls1(99-02) drive by cable. Just preparing for the inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKJK Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Excellent choice,I installed one in my 66 nova many years ago.swapping one into your truck should be a cake walk.Everything needed is available through aftermarket suppliers Just a phone call away.

wayne_smith97 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'm thinking the 5.3 with a mutha thumper cam to give it some sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Custom grind cam, proper converter and some full catless 3" exhaust would be icing on the cake. Like said, they make plug and play wiring harness for most stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_smith97 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I've been talking to a few people about what tc to use. Proper stall and still be a daily driver. Seems to be some controversy there. Already have a full 3 inch true dual exhaust with no cats, just flows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne_smith97 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 what will be the point of the truck? just a "dragger" for the street. A DD? A tow rig? DD with a nice sound and just a little ass behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_smith97 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Those were cool rigs. My Grandpa owned one for a number of years. Red Sport Edition. I love it. Get quite a few compliments with it. Every time I get to northern ky, people try to buy it at gas stations and random places. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87sheerips Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 GMT400 FTW just get a junk yard LS and throw a carb on it or standalone Holley EFI. That may be quickest and easiest? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm gonna try the wiring harness. If that fails then the Holley or Edelbrock efi kit will be used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Get a 4L80. No point in putting another anemic 4L60 behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
