hey guys just finished up my first ls swap. its in a 2000 s10 xtreme, its a blast to drive now. i did everything on a tight budget. i got the lq4 off a buddy for 400 bucks, it was out of a 2000 silverado so it had cast heads and the long crank snout. my buddy hooked me up with a 05 6.0 crank and bearings and a different friend sold me some stock 853 ls1 heads. picked up a ls2 intake and injectors and a adapter plate for a truck throttle body to work on it. a good friend gave me a descreend z06 maf (i think this may be causing some issues). i used the hummer h3 oil pan and while i was there i did a melling hv oil pump and a double roller slp timing chain ( whish i had put a cam in then as well lol). got the built 4l60e off a buddy that went to a th400. also came with a 4000 converter. i built the harness from a 2000 silverado, also using said pcm.

i have a question, i am having a hard time with the idle. it wants to idle around 1500-2000 rpms. i have 2 iacs. i pulled the plunger out alittle on one and installed it unhooked and it idles at 800. while its idleing i hooked other iac up and i could watch the plunger doing its thing trying to controll air flow(plunger moving in and out randomly). i am wondering if the descreened maf could be affecting this or is it the P1637 code i disabled cause it holds and charges fine. i am using a new(advance auto) Fbody alt, i got it for a 2000. is there a difference in the harness i am over looking. the silverado harness has one wire going to the alt.

all comments and feedback welcome. thanks for looking

I love the regular cab truck in red, it looks like my one of my own creations. Very clean as well. Well done overall, and on a tight budget too.

I had a similar plan to drop in an lQ4/4l60E into my regular cab Colorado Xtreme but I have to sell it. Would have been great though.
