1985 Dodge W150 LS1 swap I just finished my LS1 swap into my W150 Dodge truck. The truck started life as a slant six 4 speed OD manual tranny truck. I installed a 2000 Camaro LS1 with a Texas Speed 228 cam in it and the 4L60 with a 2800 stall converter. It has take me about two weeks of working in the evenings and weekends to get done. The last pictures is what I started with , I bought the truck back in April and was going to use it as a daily driver , it just didn't have enough power!

Yes , everything is off of a truck motor that I had. The F body oil pan would not fit, and I sold everything else to pay for the motor.
I used the truck manifold for two reasons, 1st, it's what I had and second I sold the LS6 intake for $350 to help pay for the motor. I only had a limited budget to work with and had to sell some things. The truck intakes have worked well for us in the past for making good power also.
