Thanks, still doing shake down but she runs pretty well. I was going for mid to late 60s style with "modern" powertrain. Just picked up a t56 and ls3 top end. I'm hoping for 450 wheel N/A

Not converted yet. I just picked up a 2002 Camaro SS donor car to swap the LS1 and T56 into a 1969 Datsun Roadster. I look forward to getting some information but, being a new member, my posts are being limited.

Finally finished my LS-3 install and it runs and drives great.
I had a lot of inspiration from seeing what others have done on these forums.
Chevrolet Performance sells a great package and the 4L70E is programed with solid shifts. It chirps the tires on the 1-2 upshift on WOT and it fit my car without modification to the tunnel.
Combined with a 9" custom fabricated rear end and heavy duty driveshaft from Inland Empire driveline it all works together.
I hid the engine and transmission ECU's inside the car to keep the engine compartment clean.
Thanks to everyone here on LS1 Tech for the info you post.

Thanks, Jos

I have a 1967 Pontiac GTO convertible with a 525 hp LS 3 hooked to a T56 magnum 6 speed Manual trans. Also For 9 inch with 3.89 gears. Used the Holley accessory drive brackets and Holley 302-2 oil pan. Have about 2000 miles on it and enjoying every mile! Got to figure out how to post pictures on this site.

G Atsma

Any hassles using the Holley parts? Did you use their engine and/or tranny mounts?

Kkern

holley makes real quality parts, only issue I ever had was the damn power valves popping on the carbs.

G Atsma

Backfiring thru the carb??? It'll do it every time

Hello,

My conversion is using a model year 2000 Chevy Silverado LM7 VORTEC truck motor and its 4L60E transmission into my 1970 El Camino. Rust repairs have been my focus since acquiring this vehicle last April and she had been parked since about 1983-84 according to its last Texas inspection sticker and plate decal. All rust repairs have been finished and I'm hoping that next month will be a big month for the front brake disk conversion, coil overs, front suspension rebuild and the installation of the Dirty Dingo LS engine mounts.

I'm hoping that February will allow me to begin test fitting the motor and trans. Fingers crossed and hopeful.

So, I just picked up another LQ4, so now both trucks will getting the 6.0’s. I think I’ll rebuild the LM7 for the wife’s 261k mile 00 Suburban. Nothing wrong with it, but still 261k! Might as well since I have it. Anyone done the reluctor wheel swap?

Pat

G Atsma

Why would you need the reluctor wheel swap? All your engines are Gen III.

autopat

The LM7 is an 06.

Pat

G Atsma

And the LM7 you have has the later wheel? I believe it was an overlap year.
