No, it is for a small block with out A/C. I hate to say it, but I got it Auto Zone. I doubt you still want it, but i can get the p/n if you want it.

nah, i was asking because i smashed mine putting the ls motor in. you need the BB heater core if the LS is anywhere close to the firewall - well, i did anyway. i was trying to find one without spending $80+ at year one or classic. all the auto parts stores say the BB = SB, which is untrue.

I'll take a pick of mine this weekend. I have not put the hoses on yet, so I'll see if this will work for my set up.

Hoses seem to fit OK. Please ignore the unfinished wiring. Pics:

Almost have the power steering lines done. I may shorten my hi-Pressure line.
Does any one know if the Hi-pressure fitting that goes into the steering box needs an O-ring?
The 1 that goes into the pump had 1, so thought the box side shoud too.

The 1 I put in the Hi-P side looks like this. (this is actualy the smaller one for the low-P, but it looks like this only bigger) There is no O-ring. Do I need some other fitting?

Thanks for the comments.
It keeps me motivated on thoughs rough days when you think have everything you need. Then find out you don't, and the parts store is closed
or are still waiting for parts to come in. Or when you have no idea what your doing. That is most days for me!! I am learning as I go.
Thanks,
Brandon

I made a custom radiator hose set up. It is a milled, sanded, and polished piece of aluminium with a piece of black flex hose.
I like the look, but I don't know if I can get an air cleaner on there now.

Now modified several times. See page 6

Seems as if you have figured everything out as you go. Thats where I am at. I learn from my mistakes and trust me I have made a few, a few thousand along the way. LS1Tech has helped my build in so many ways. The people on here a great and are always willing to give some advice. Some are ******** but most are good people that have actual experience with the LS family. I read magizine articles, books, manuals but nothing compares to the help I have recieved on here. You have a great looking car and I am sure it will serve you well for years to come. Now get off your *** and lets see it running down the road. I say that but at least you have your engine in a car. I cant drive my engine stand if I could she would be fast. Great build, keep it coming

Decided to get an LS6 intake from a member here. I think it has ls1 fuel rails and injectors. It also came with a mechanical throttle body, but I will be putting on the one that came on my LQ9 intake.
Here is a pic to see what it will look like:
